It was still dark as he put his boat into the river, sharing the water with chunks of ice as a promise that winter was coming. He boated five miles to his tree stand, having chosen the location after carefully observing deer trails; rutting deer, bucks fighting each other and looking for does, mark their territory by rubbing their antlers on trees. This act wears t...
