Various hunts

I've been on a few hunts since my last post and taken a few pics each time I've been out.  I have a longer story about a big buck encounter for a separate post, but thought I'd share some of the random pics in their own post.

A couple yearlings approach.

No deer, just a cool shot straight down from my perch.

Small 6 point buck in the center of the picture.  I rattled this guy in shortly after first light.  I used my grunt/snort wheeze call to keep this guy in close range for a good 1/2 hour.  It was fun just to play around with the call and see what worked & how he reacted.

Turkey top, clover plot.  I stuck a turkey decoy out under me for fun one night.  Rattled in a spike on this hunt from the far tree line.  He cautiously checked out the decoy, made a scrape and then walked right through my shooting lane.  Only needed about 4 more years to grow though!

View downhill from another of my stands deep in the timber.  Had to "open" this shooting window up this summer as I had a harrowing miss on a real giant buck in this exact spot last year.  Still haunts me to this day.
