This is a bow hunt on opening weekend on an out of state velvet hunt on public land. I'd scouted into an area I had limited historical knowledge of after hunting it once. Upon not finding much fresh sign, I continued scouting until I bumped a buck bedded on the back side of a bench on the hillside. I set up in a tree I thought he could pass by going back to that bed. The next morning, the buck entered back in towards that bedding area, giving me a sub-20 yard shot.
