Got this buck September 22nd. My 4th night on stand. He came out 50 yards across the field from me. He saw a small buck decoy I had out to my 11 o'clock at 20 yards. He looked at it for quite some time stomping at it and just not sure what to think. Finally he calmed down and started walking to my right, angling away from me. The little buck must have gotten under his skin. He circled back towards it and came across in front of me right at 27 yards. He stopped and I made the shot. He went 150 yards and piled up. He is my biggest bow kill in five years of bow hunting.[ATTACH=CONFIG]10902[/ATTACH]

Thanks guys.

Well, I tried the decoy out tonight.... And it worked perfectly! He came out from a different spot tonight. Caught me a little off guard. He came out 55 yards straight away from me. Saw the decoy just off to my 11 o'clock and started stomping his hoof. I thought he was gonna leave but he came a little closer and stomped some more. Then he circled to my right and walked straight across in front at 27 yards. He stopped and I let my arrow go. The rest is history.

I have a couple bucks that come out in the same spot every night. I have 2 stands set up one on either side as close as I can get them (there aren't any suitable trees closer). I've had them in range but it always takes them til after shooting hours to get there. So I was wondering if its too early to get any reaction out of these deer using a decoy? If so what would get their attention more a buck or doe decoy? Thanks and Happy Hunting!

Hope to get a shot at a buck like that this season.

Very nice looking deer.

Looks good!

Some nice looking mounts for sure!

I just placed an order for a bresser 800 true view range finder. Almost all the reviews i read were good. I was just wondering what your thoughts were. Is it a good product or am I going to end up returning it? thanks for the input.
