140"er at 30-35 yards OOOHHHH MYYYY!!!

[Shawn Leonard]

Problem is he was 30 yards and on a hillside so about eye level with me for 5-7 minutes. Just too close for that type of call, maybe at 100 yards but 30, no way. i have hunted a long time and have called in a killed a few good ones and I know when i could be busted and this was one of those times. I went back to work today, I work for the town I hunt in and I saw 6 bucks between 9 and 1 today from the truck, guess what? One was the same buck and he was nly 100 yards form where I saw him Sat. Guess where I will be come Weds. morning?(AH home sick in bed)     Yeah!! Shawn

Shawn,

If you don't mind would you describe your method/technique for doing a "drag rag" as you mentioned in your initial post.

It sounds like that bucks time is limited! Good luck Shawn.

By the way, I thought that vest in your avatar looked familiar. Its the same one I wear for the town I work for.

I take a piece of new sock and spray it with Scent-Killer and a 72" boot lace and spray that as well. I let them dry and than using rubber gloves place in a zip-loc bag with my favorite scent. I usually have urine from a doe I have shot and collect from her bladder, if not I use Code Blue.  Than when I am to my walk in point I remove the stuff from the bag and wearing rubber gloves drag the sock on my way to my stand. I usually walk by my stand a ways and than return and throw the whole she-bang high as i can in a tree within 15 yards of my stand where a good shot presents itself. I freshen the rag every hundred yards on my way in to my stand. I have shot several decent bucks this way over the years. David, I may not answer as the loud ringing will hurt my aching head, I am sure!    I would hope it is limited, but a bud of mine spotted what sounds like the same deer this evening about 1 mile from there! We will see!! shawn

    Good luck Shawn......

I should say I do not tie my drag rag to my boot as a lot of guys as it spreads the scent to my other clothing and I am a scent freak, meaning i like to stay as scent free as possible. shawn
