Nice buck! Congrats

Congrats on a great late season buck! One should never feel like he has to make excuses for not holding out for the biggest buck in the woods. All that matters is that you are happy with him. That is an awsome buck and thanks for sharing the story.

Congrats! The trophy is in the eye of the hunter pulling the trigger.

Congrats on a nice buck!

Nice buck! I bet next time he wants to go hunting with you you won't hesitate.

Awsome Buck! Its great to see hunters get an opportunity at bucks like these, instead of seeing them get hit by cars or poached.

Thanks guys this will be a help. I just didn't want to start buying game calls only to be disappointed and waisting money.

I'm considering purchasing an electronic call for hunting coyotes here in western Pa. I don't know much about them and don't want to waste money trying to figure out which ones are good. Any help would be apreciated. Thanks

Prayers from my family in western Pa.

You're right Kentucky, that is a woody and nice one at that.

Hey Kentucky sounds like you got a sweet spot there. If you can find the natural food source that they are eating and their bedding area then set up between that would be the ticket. Not knowing much about the property it would be hard to offer any other suggestions. This time of year when vegitation is thin and crops have been harvested, deer change their diets, most of their nutrition comes from browse. If there are any thickets, cutovers or areas that have been recently timbered this would be a good place to start. Well good luck.

Congrats to her on a fine buck!

Congradulations on a fine buck.

Already started. Put my trail camera out last week to see what made it through the season.

chefdanny while everyone has very good points. I have to agree that you may not want to plant anything that would attract more deer. And while inviting friends to help take more deer is a sportsman like idea, I would exercise caution in doing this. First of all this coworker and his wife have invited you to hunt this property, rather than open it up to public hunting. This tells me that they probably don't want a army of hunters invading their 20 acres of paradise. Therefore before I would invite anyone else I would clear it with the land owner. Then if it is ok with them, be careful about who you invite. Make sure you let anyone you invite no what you expect. Whether or not they have an open invitation or are they allowed to hunt only when you are hunting. Whether they are allowed to invite anyone. I have seen friendships of many years come to an end because of miscommunication and squables over hunting property. I once knew a friend that allowed, what he thought was a close friend, to hunt a property that he had pemission to hunt. Only to have this so called friend lease this property out from under him 2 years later. As far planting, if you are looking for an attractant I would go as far away from the property owners garden as you can get and plant something like Whitetail Institutes "No Plow" or "Secret Spot". These products are an annual fall planting food plot blend that work well in low light conditions. While I haven't used "Secret Spot" I have used "No Plow" with great success. In just a matter of weeks of planting it the deer had a trail a foot & a half wide and 2 to 3 inches deep leading to it. Again I would clear anything you do with the land owner.
