No deer but another great outing!! I got to the park late 4:10pm so I decided to hunt from the ground. So I hike in and setup about 20ft up on the side of a bluff over looking the grassy swamp area that I had stalked the buck from thursday. a little after 5pm I see 4 doe making their way across the grass, they came to 45yds and wouldn't come any closer. About 20min before legal shooting time was up just for fun I hit the rattle bag very lightly for about 20-30seconds. about 10min later I have a small 6pt step out where the does had been 45yds away. He just looks around for a few minutes and started to walk away. Then I hit the true talker and then the bag again, made him very curious but he wouldn't come any closer but he started looking behind him. Then another buck stepped out, I could see that he was bigger but it was getting to dark to tell how big. I just couldn't get them any closer.
This is a new public area for me and so far I've seen deer 4 out of the 5 times I've been out for a total of 16 doe and 5 bucks!!
