This was my first set of the year. We hunt public land here in KS and usually have our best luck in Nov. But with the cold front on us I figured the deer might stay on there feet a litle longer in the morning. It was about 7:00 am so I decided to try a little calling. I have mixed results in Nov. and thought what the who. I soft grunted 2 times and turned the can over twice. Within 3 minutes a 2 1/2 yr old 10 points comes in looking. I thought great just not the right buck. About 5 minutes later a 2 1/2 yr old 8 point crosses in front. Another 2-3 minutes then a see a 3 1/2 yr old looking around by the creek. I get a pretty good look at him and decide to shot if the chance presents itself. He stops at 22 yds and I shot. He runs about 25 yds and just stops and starts looking around. Then he goes over a dump and is gone. I wait 15 minutes and get down and go look for blood and find good blood where he stoped. I try sneaking out and he crossed a road where I couldnt see and I think I jumped him. Come back in 3 hours find little blood because he is running. A long story is we finally got him at 3:00 pm and without alot of the info. I read on here it might not of turned out the same. Just a reminder if you are looking for a deer that might not be dead dont set your bow down and continue because it is to thick. It almost cost me. Sorry for the long post but I am happy we got him after a long trail job.His score is 135 5/8. Doug
