One of my brothers called in some cows and calves.  One of the calves came in and licked the top wheel of his bow as he stood there.

on Saturday at about 8:00 AM I was hunting a deep ravine and heard some crashing and thrashing in the brush...then more grunting and I could hear antlers smashing together...this went on for about 10 minutes but I could not see the deer fighting even though they were only about 75 yards from me....so I snuck along the fenceline down to the crick and up the other side a little ways ( I should mention they were on the wrong side of the fence) when I could finally see them they were less than 40 yards away, just dork'n around it was a really big 2 point muley and a respectable 4x4, his splits were only about 4 inches each, but good enough for me. it was weird, they were kind of play fighting, they would push eachother around a little bit and then stop and look around and then thrash in the brush making some nice rubs and then spar again just casually...it was like a big brother ruff housing with his younger brother...all the while I am kicking myself because I have no grunt tube nor can I do any rattling...after about 30 minutes of this they finally spotted  me and wandered off ...it was really cool, but man i wish I could have got them to cross that fence     :bash: :chuckle:

The closest I've stalked a buck was 12 yards this past early archery season.  It was only a fork horn but I had just started hunting and figured it would be good practice.
