Always expect the unexpected,monday morning I was in the woods early missed a doe,decided to come out of my stand and check the other side of the property for a tree to use my climber,for when the wind isnt favorable from my ladder.I found a perfect spot in a pin oak,I started to climb and cut limbs as I went up,when all of a sudden a branch swung around and a twig on that branch made a perfect be line right into my ear canal,I went to my doctor and he made me an appt. with an ear specialist turns out that twig cut my ear drum.Moral of the story:I better take care of my eyes cause if I cant hears um I better be able to seez um.
