NO TRICK FOR ME!!!! As i said earlier today ( halloween ) about always having a great day in the woods , i did it for the second time ! I GOT ONE!!!!! right at dark ........about 515 i did a small rattling session , with some soft grunts .....about 5 mins after i did the can about 3 times and sat to wait for dark to get down! About 10 mins b4 get down time , i heard 2 snorts from about 100 yards away out in the field. well i was thinkin ok somethin is out there to scare them obviously! as i reached for my pack to start packing my calls and stuff away , i heard loud crunching begin to come in my direction from the field. It sounded like a small game hunter , on a dead walk right into my area...... when the noise closed in to about 40 yards i saw a deer outline, i clipped on my release and when the deer came into the open out of the brush , i saw his headgear with no mistaking it!!!!, well like he was being reeled in on a fishing pole the buck came right to me , 12 yards slightly quartering to facing slightly up hill! my hoyt sent the carbon arrow through one lung , off the top of the heart and into the other lung and stuck in the opposite ribs. I usually get pass thrus but i used a 2 inch diameter expandable so that made the lack of penatration! after giving him an hour after i heard a loud crashing session followed by a running sound toward the field , i returned at dark! NO BLOOD THO!!!!! i found a few small specs on opverhanging brush in the thicket....my dad pressed ahead and walked out into the field , about 20 yards in the middle of the open was my buck, a 9 point ( basic 8 with double brow tines on one side) hes not huge but definatley a true halloween buck!!!! o yea i forgot to mention when he hit my scent trail , he stopped on a dime , no sound was needed to stop him and let er fly , it was just wild , he came in so care free and like he owned the place , ill get pics up tommorow or weds!!!!!

Sorry for being long!!!!
