I love the fact that I can archery hunt in WA and hunt Idaho (modern) during the rut for whitetails. I pay the out-of-state price and it’s well worth it! We arrived in Idaho Nov. 12 and stayed one week. I rattle, grunt, and use the doe bleat religiously. I found an area just chewed up with scrapes and rubs. I knew there was a nice buck hanging around in there somewhere. My brother and I set up in the icky-thicky on a hill side with two shooting lanes reaching out to 100 yards. My brother was sitting down out of site rattling very aggressively. As he finished rattling, I would grunt a few times and use the doe bleat. After three sequences of calling, this buck came charging past the first shooting lane and I briefly saw the dark tines moving past. I immediately aimed at the second lane waiting for this guy to cross. It worked out perfect. He came to the second lane and stopped looking for a fight. Fearing that he would wind us, I quickly pulled the trigger. We went up the hill expecting the deer to be dead right there but he wasn’t. There was no blood and we found a clump of about 20 hairs. I had that sick feeling in my stomach thinking that maybe I just nicked him even though the shot felt good. After thirty minutes of looking, we stumbled across him about 70 yards away. I guess I’m still Oneshot. He scored 158.
