WEEKEND UPDATE:
Friday night:
Got to a stand I had started using and the night before called in a small 6 pt and a 6-8 pt at.
Sit down and start calling, not response for a while, wind is in my face, some boulders and downed trees as cover.
About 45 minutes before dark, i start to see deer, I count 20 of them, coming down past me and going behind me, on a B line for the fields. Eventually a few caught wind of meand ran back to the direction they came from. Now that i could get to my grunt tube, I began to grunt, and immediately, the small 6 point from the night before started walking in my direction. I was losing the light fast, he got to what I felt was a worthy shot, pulled back, he looked at me, i released and he ran like hell. MISS.....there was a dirt pile which was obscuring an old logging road bed, turning a manageable 30-35 yard shot to easily 45.....damn it.

Regrouped and got ready for saturday morning.
Went to another area where I found 8 different rubs within a small 30 yard radius.
setup and began grunting. No sign of deer, and the mind begins to wander, I was watching a squirrel, or listening actually, trying to make it seem like a deer was coming. As i turn my head back to look in front of me, i hear that ever painful snuff and see the white tail bounding. I grab the grunt tube and start a series of grunts, and the deer stopped running. I continued grunt and it start to walk back in my direction, very cautiously. I got the binoculars up....8 point.
It mills around the area for about a half hour, every time it starts to walk away, i grunt nad it comes back, and I am praying it gets close enough for a shot. Finally it seem to be on a decent trail to move within bow range of me. It stops and looks around, just before and opening where I had planned to take a shot. At that moment, a squirrel working behind me, cut a branch and the branch fell, and that was too much for the deer and he bounded away for a final time.
sadness prevailed.
lol anyway there ya go, just thought I would keep you all informed.
