When meeting a friend to hunt his area, the map he has drawn will omit at least one major crossroad and a critical right turn.

• If you have spent all season figuring out a trophy buck’s pattern and have chosen the ideal stand, he will be killed on doe day by a first-time hunter with a borrowed rifle from the stand you used at the beginning of the season.

• The chance of your hitting a 2-inch sapling at KMl yards is directly proportional to the size of the buck standing behind it.

• You will not have to "go," unless you have forgotten the toilet tissue.

• If you drop your rifle, the sights will not be knocked out of alignment unless you are going to get a shot at the biggest buck you’ve ever seen the next morning.

• The squirrel that has played peacefully around your stand all morning will panic and loudly ■ scold you as deer approach.

• If you want to see deer, light a cigarette, eat your lunch or take a nap — they will appear as if by magic. If you want to see a buck, get into a situation from which you can’t possibly shoot.

• When you’ve killed a decent buck and have a pretty good story to go with it, there will be a bigger deer and a bigger lie waiting back at camp.
