Title: pictures from saturday
Post by: runningboard on November 13, 2007, 05:00:33 AM: these are a few pictures of the success I had on saturday morning, as I said in my earlier post he was rattled in and his longest tines are 8" and he is 18" inside, not a bruiser but a nice buck to fill my tag with! this was the first time I had tried rattling and the first deer I ever called in on purpose, I usually spot & stalk, stillhunt or sit on a stand. I say on purpose because when I was a kid "too sick" to go to school, I snuck out & went for a quick hunt and stopped walking to empty my bladder, I was coughing & then I bent over and did a farmer's blow of my nose since I had no handkerchief or tissue. when I stood up there was a buck standing there looking at me! he must have heard the commotion and came to see what was all the racket about! we looked at each in surprise for a few seconds and then he tore off while I tried to get untangled from my slung rifle, never did get a shot at him.

Most definitely! my daughter(11yo) still has yet to fill her tag and her mom still has a tag also, we will give it another try this week and weekend.

it was awesome to be able to say to friends, "I called him in." and mean it!
