Jerry I had spent the previous few hours still hunting thick cover. As I frequently do I hunt cover during the day and move to locations for stands in late afternoon. I grab what's available for stand sights.
Shooting sticks are excess baggage to New England hunters. You will not see many people lug them up here.
That buck was chest hit twice with the sling. I doubt I could have made the shot without it.
Not the first time I have used a sling on game.
