RE: Offical Team 16 Thread
This AM I went out to my lease to check out a spot I've been thinking about trying. I sat down at dawn behind a large oak with a trunk about 4' wide. This tree is about 10yds. off of a game trail leading to a pasture.At the base of the tree on one side is a tangle of brambles, vines, and an old barbed wire fence. On the other side is a nice clear shooting lane to the trail. I sat there for about an hour and a half when a nice 8pt. came strolling out of the pasture headed for the woods. If it was Oct. 1st he was mine. I don't think he ever knew I was there. He walked past in no hurry and I stayed put for another 1/2 hour before I got up and left. I plan on hunting that spot on the opener if the wind is right. What should I do to stop him to get a shot? Should I try a grunt or a scent bomb across the trail from the tree? I'm not used to getting this close and I don't want to blow it if I get a chance. Help me help us!
