re: New Years Eve buck!!!

Well better late than never. I hunted my area hard, passing several does, spikes and forked deers. After waiting several weeks, hours and several grunts, bleats and rattling this guy finally showed up. I honestly think that this guy was running to the buck bomb that I was spraying into the air, the ground and the tree limbs. He came in on a heavy deer trail that I was watching 24 feet from my tree stand. He had his nose to ground and walking north to south when I barked at him to get his attention and that's when I released the arrow. It was a mid shot, but hey I'll take any hit, anytime. He ran about 20 yards and I barked at him again which slowed him down. Great deer to close out the year.........

Great job, I left my rattling horns, grunt tube, and scents at home yesterday, thinking it was too late for a post rut.  I was wrong!!!!

wanttohuntmore, I've read several articles stating that rattling, and calls still work in the late season. So I tried it out, mostly grunting, and a light hit of the horns (sparring) got their attention. Buck bomb worked pretty well, had alot of deer pics on the trail camera after wasting an entire can on the ground and tree limbs. (sharing some tactics to help out)
