dogdoc Posted November 6, 2004 Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 but I guess that's bowhunting. I went out this morning and hunted over my hamann farms food plot. About 30 minutes after first light a small buck pops out of no where on the plot and starts filling his belly full of trefoil and clover. He gets about 50 yards away then pops his head up--gets the "rut" look with his head down and runs into the trees pushing 3 does out. That little 1 1/2 year old buck thought he was top dog until a nice mature 8 pointer comes out of the trees. The little one tucks tail and takes off. The mature buck lets a little grunt then starts chasing the does. I tried everything---grunting/bleating with the can to try to get him into range but he never came closer than 60 yards. He was big bodied with a respectable 8 point rack. hopefully I will get another chance at him todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckshot Posted November 6, 2004 Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 Re: so close...... Awful hard to get a buck away from does, but it's exciting just to see one like that.Maybe he will be alone tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted November 6, 2004 Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 Re: so close...... That's too bad Todd. It sure is tough to get their attention when they have other things on their mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogdoc Posted November 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 Re: so close...... [ QUOTE ] Todd, Are the does receptive yet? Thanks, Dave [/ QUOTE ] No--the does were not receptive (or at least they were playing hard to get ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
