Wimpy Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Went out this evening and sat in a stand I have'nt hunted this year yet. I put out a buck decoy and rattled a few times with no luck. Shortly after 6 a doe appeared on the opposite side of the field I was hunting. Once she spotted the decoy she fed her way to it. She fed all around the decoy and didn't want to leave, finally at about 10 minutes til 7 she started up a road that goes through the field, she got by some cedars next to it and I noticed legs coming through the cedars. This buck popped out and I immediately recognized him from trail cam pics I have of him. He immediately keyed in on the decoy and started walking directly toward him. I managed to get my bow off of my bow hanger and get turned around (I think I could have danced a jig up in my treestand and he would'nt have noticed, he was so keyed in on the decoy). He started walking stiff legged and circled behind the decoy offering me a 25yd. broadside shot. He never got out of the field before toppling over. This is my first buck since 2007.

Tominator Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Yeah dude, that's a nice deer! What county you hunting? They are really in cruise mode in Ohio it seems. Heading out tonight with a buddy, hope he gets to see the one I saw last night, better yet, hope he arrows it. Wish I had the guts to use a decoy this time of year, lol.
