So I have been waiting for a SSW wind to hunt a virtually unapproachable spot that I have been patterning a nice buck for past 10 days. Got the wind and got in ok though stepped on 2 yearlings but they ran right direction that wouldn't mess up the set. All going perfect, does feeding, I am in a deadfall in a field island 30 yards from edge that has about 10 rows of beans left and completely oblivious to the deer. Wind perfect. Hear deer coming in woods, see rack coming. Freaking awesome when a plan comes together.!!

I had shut off text but forgot to shut everything off switch on edge of phone. My wife is watching granddaughters and on way home and had brain fart when she called me.

So I have several does feeding on beans 20 yards or so and buck is maybe 50-60 in woods and can only see rack through brush.

My home made cell ring tone is The Who "Who are you who who, Who are you who who who, Who are you?

So the does froze like WTH was That? Deer in woods took off like runaway D9 bulldozers. The does then tried to carefully tippy toe away until woods then another round of runaway D9 dozers.

Wife says: Sorry, brain fart and knew you were hunting.

Me2, the setup was perfect, uh huh. "My fault" for not shutting off ringer. Yep!

Merry Christmas
 
I bet you are loads of fun in a movie theater lol.

I know this is going after a fly with a bazooka, but something like a Garmin fitness watch is kind of nice for instances like this. You can always keep your phone silent and just push texts or calls to the watch so it vibrates on your wrist and gives you a heads up. Then you can just look at your wrist, and if it needs more attention than that you can pull out your phone. The fitness aspects are enjoyable too, you can see how much you have abused yourself on any given day in the woods. Beats pulling the phone out of your pocket in the cold with gloved hands too. I have one of their Fenix line and it is indestructible.

If you are a flip phone guy though, then I don't know what to tell you.

Merry Christmas to you as well!

Old enough to be flip phone guy but like techy stuff. I will look into your suggestion, sounds interesting.

Merry Christmas back at you!

You get annoyed at first but then you just gotta laugh at the absolute absurdity, inane and silliness of the whole scenario. You plot, plan, patience for the PERFECT wind and then you become an oblivious Millennial hunting. My wife was upset she "ruined" my hunt but I laughed and told her it was actually quite funny when you think about it. The look on those feeding does at 15-20 yards hearing The Who was something I won't forget ever. Their eyes got so wide and they were trembling ready to blast off. Like your Lab sitting waiting to fetch! And then, the slow tippy toe sneak back into the woods and then warp speed😂. I think cause they could not pin me down it freaked them more not knowing where this weird human screeching noise was coming from😂. Maybe I should change ringer to crows cawing?

I've discovered a cell phone is a deer attractant. Gotta have it with me always, but on silent though. LOL I have incorporated sliding my phone into a breast pocket as part of my shot routine. The times I forget to silence it though, murphy found out, (Like he did you) and the most random people I haven't talked to in forever end up calling. "Murphy! I hate you!"

Been there! Merry Christmas to you
 
Hahaha…once while officiating a worship service at a nursing home my phone went off…I was a new pastor at the time, panicked, and just discretely threw my phone into a compartment in the pulpit that had a closing door. I thought it would go off eventually. It did not. It was an alarm I had set for some reason. But I got away with it: they were all so deaf nobody heard anything, I was apologizing profusely and nobody knew what the heck I was talking about 🤣.

On a serious note, I'm not a pastor for much longer. The small town baptist church I've pastored for almost 9 years is permanently closing effective December 31. Tomorrow i lead our congregation through their last service together, ever, in a church that has been here for 93 years. If any of you are praying people, I'd appreciate your prayers. This is going to be hard. This has been the most meaningful thing I've done in my life, along with being a father.

Merry Christmas everybody!
