I was sitting there about a half hour before sunset and did my 2nd sequence of some rattling. I put the antlers down and grabbed the glasses to glass where I was figuring it would come from. About a minute after I rattled, I seen it. Brown fur coming my way fast, I was pumped. Grabbed my bow and turned in that direction. It came right to where I figured it would. Then I noticed, no antlers!! Oh well, I would have shot a doe too. But then she figured she would break my plans. Instead of hanging to the edge of the field like I figured, she went out into the open field and got down wind. She was only 10 yards from my shooting lane. If she would have stayed on the edge of the field she would have hit an opening that wasn't downwind.

Oh well, it was fun and that was the first time I have had anything respond to rattling like that. She made a fast track to the edge of the field to see what was going on.

Maybe next time.
