Sorry guys, grill had some issues and than I did have to eat. Ok it was now getting light out. The first thing I here is a cock pheasant sounding off in a field below me, so I turn and scan the field with my bino's. While doing this I look up and out across the bottom and look up on the power lines about 250 yards away I see 3 deer. One big doe and 2 fawns. I watch them on and off for about 1/2 hr. and it is now 7:30. I look again and see another deer has joined them, turns out to be a nice 8pt. He is just feeding with the doe's. They slowly feed off. About 15 minutes later I look to the lower field again and there is a small 4pt. walking the edge about 80 yards away. I grunt at him and he looks up but just keeps walking with his nose to the ground. He gets down wind so I let him walk without calling to him again and he disappear's into what we call the brushy hillside, a 15 acre patch of hell that we leave totally alone, kind of a sanctuaury. I wait about 15 minutes and figure to do some blind calling. I hit the can twice and follow this with a series of grunts, wait 3 or 4 minutes and repeat. The whole time watching the power lines to the front and left and a little funnel that is created by the power lines and a creek that runs along the field below and behind me. Stupid me, all the deer have been behind me, so I turn just in time to see another buck in that bottom field, he is standing and has his head up looking up my way. I figure he is looking for the source of the grunts or doe he heard a few minutes before. He slowly walks the way the other buck went. He is a 4pt. too but quite a bit bigger body and horn wise. This time I figure with it warming up and the thermals rising i mind as well give him a couple grunts, even though down wind. I do and he stops and looks and angles slightly towards me yet still going away. I figure he is gonna go to a creek crossing about 100 yards away and circle me a bit and come thru that funnel to my right that I had been watching. He heads towards that creek crossing but now is out of sight. I wait a couple minutes and hit the can twice and do a quick series of grunts. Now I just wait and watch, even though the spot I am watching is directly downwind I let go a few milkweed pods and I watch them hover and stay high in the air well out, I can see them at 60 yards with my binos and know if he is close my scent should be up and over him. I finally catch movement and there he is, about 50 yards but coming. Ok I will be right back, gotta get my shots as Cindy is harrassing me. Shawn
