I was very fortunate this year to get a second chance and fill my tag, but things did not start off well. First day of my hunt I was first on the mountain and hustled to a great glassing location. 270+ degrees of field of vision. There was a good amount of movement and I was able to see it all. About 30 minutes after sunrise I heard some brush breaking behind me. Very slowly I turned my head around to see a good size buck crest a small ridge behind me, maybe 35 yards. He didn’t spot me or wind me, but I knew that any more movement and I would give up my position, I was trapped. I tried to roll to my right to get into a prone position and immediately spooked him. He stopped briefly as if to rub it in and then vanished. I learned a couple of things that day, don’t assume that everything will be in front of me, and glass in a position that allows movement. I got skunked that day and was very disappointed in my lack of situational awareness. A few days later I was able to fill my tag with a nice buck in another location, but that was a VERY valuable lesson.
