I have been hunting a specific deer, which is like playing a shell game; now you see him, now you don't. This morning, I went to an area where I have seen him on a couple of occasions, got in well before daylight, and just as I could make out shapes, started to rattle. Not two minutes later, I had a spike and a small 4x4 respond, both of who hung out at 10 to 15 yards for over 5 minutes. A short while later, a buck which has to be the son of the deer I am hunting came in; his antlers are a similar configuration, but he is just a 2 year old. Had him at 5 yards before he saw the Boogie Man. I had a doe that I thought was going to step on me, but she changed directions at about 3 paces, and never did see or wind me. I was in some tall grass in a ditch, and the Asbell wool seems to be working pretty well as a camo pattern.
Of course, the buck I am hunting didn't show, but it looks like the plan is working as far as getting deer to come in. Now, if he will only cooperate, I would be forever grateful to him.
Maybe next time!
