This one was locked down with a doe. Tough still hunting through timber with no weather to cover noise but it worked.
I rattled a buck in about 20 mins before last shooting light. Came into about 60 yards. No idea how long he was there just frozen staring at me. I must have looked him over for a full minute before I realized I was looking at a deer/buck. I ranged him and just as I was about to draw he started my way. Veered off and melted into the ferns along with my season. It was another tough one. Haven’t had the time to scout post season the past few years and it’s showing. Archery during modern can get a touch gig. Cool to rattle in a nice buck though.
Only saw 19 doe on the last 3 days, AND one forky my daughter picked up in the last hour of the last day... super tough hunting.
Was able to call this guy into 20yards from my tree stand with a grunt call. Been getting him on cam for the last month or so. He came I'm pretty hot scent glands dripping with piss
