First deer I see is splitting the yardage between us, but maybe a little closer to Doug. It was a small buck, and I knew with only a day and a half to hunt and an either sex tag,he wasn't going to be too picky. Just about the time I figured things were going to get interesting as I watched thru bino's, the buck stops on a dime, and looks toward where I knew Doug was. It was obvious he'd called to him, and it worked! He turned and started toward him...I watched till he went out of site and waited for something to happen.....but I never heard or saw anything.
He'd called him almost to the base of his tree,but a good shot never presented itself....
The morning was filled with bucks and does for both of us...it was almost non stop sightings. One buck we both saw was a nice 2 1/2 year old 4x4. I tried to call him in, but he didn't want anything to do with it. Little did I know Doug had already called to him and had him coming right to him, that is until a bunch of does showed up and changed his course :mad:
Seems I put Doug in a pretty good spot....I think he saw about 10 does and fawns and 3-4 bucks!
It was my best morning of the season, only the fourth morning I've gotten to hunt this fall :(
