Was fortunate to connect with this one yesterday afternoon. Bucks and does beginning to associate with each other. I had does feeding in front of me with 45 minutes of light left. Had also watched a decent buck cross several hundred yards of pasture around then on his way towards me. Closest he ever got was 400 yards and I lost him in some cut over. With about 30 min of light left I decided to doe bleat and followed it up with a little very light grunting. 15 min later this guy came in on a rope. I'm not sure if the calling did the trick, but maybe it did. Calling doesn't usually do much good here and we're still a couple weeks from peak of chasing. I will say that the only time I definitely had success with a call here was from this same stand. It was mid February and in theory time for second round of chasing. She agressive tending grunts convinced a good buck to hang a 90 and come tight to me. He took a bullet to the chest at 100 yards.
Anyway, this one made a fatal error yesterday. Took hitlister #1 during archery, and #3 yesterday. If im able to take out #2, it will be an epic year for my little 40 acre piece!
