Caught with my pants down

I was hunting a ranch of about 650 acres. By the time I arrived the sun was up, and I saw three does in the middle of the main hay field.
After checking in with the landowner, I walked out to close the distance on the does. They had managed to keep out of range and trotted into the woods on the border of the hayfield.
I set up along a creek that borders the field in hopes of seeing my doe for dinner. I watched six does wander into the hayfield over 450 yards out. Too far for me.
I waited to see if they would close the distance. It was about twenty degrees, so I decided to put my fleece pants on. As I had the pants up to about my knees, I saw a 5 Point whitetail along the creek.
Dropped him with the fleece pants around my knees.
