Saturday, I was sitting on the edge of a thicket when a doe busted out at a trot, 15 yards from my stand, mouth open and tounge hanging out...he he. About a minute later, here he comes, also at a trot. Drew back but couldn't get him to stop. Tried grunting and yelling whoaaaa, but he kept going. I've stopped them before when they were by themselves, but is there ANY way to stop them while in pursuit of a doe? Does anyone have any tricks that have worked before in this type of situation?

I'm all "ears" if there is a way, but I've not seen it yet....If they are in hot pursuit, then I think it's an exercise in futility trying to get them to stop from my experience.
I stopped the buck I killed last year when he was hot on a doe. However, I had to yell at the top of my lungs to get him to stop. It can be done, but it does not always work. All you can do is try.

When they are hot on a doe, it's almost impossible to get them to stop. If you can whistle loudly, that may work, but only do it while they are moving quickly. If he's alone, and just moving on, I don't like to whistle, then I grunt softly, with my voice. I can do it with some good volume too, but there have been times that even a lone buck on the move in november won't even stop for that.
Another thing I've done, is do something to stop the doe. If she's in eye sight of you, and moving fast, and he's close behind, I'll just flat out move so she catches my eye. A lot of times she will stop to see what the hel you are, and they buck will about run her over. Sometimes I'll grunt at her before she even gets within bow range if I can see her coming and I know she's gonna come right by me. It'll get her attention, sometimes slow her down, and if you can pass her visual test, she may just stroll by and bring the buck past in a much more controlled fashion. If he's walking, following her, he may stop at your grunt.
No 2 situations are alike, so gotta play it by the seat of your pants. They are already running, the worst that can happen is they run faster!
If the hot little blonde from accounting came out of the copy room and you came out shortly after with your tongue hanging out, do you think anything (including yelling "FREE BEER") would stop you?? Fat chance.

You forgot to mention she's naked and willing and just told you that if you can find an empty room it's all yours, and you haven't had any in nearly a year!!!!
Whoaaaa...STOP!
