Captain I can only tell you what I do, I do not make a peep when trying to shoot a deer(99% time). Yes I let a 150 class 8 walk by me at 5 yds with the bow backtwo years ago. Nov14th, last good day to bow hunt.

Remember this you are hunting in one of the most pressured states we have. MI is2nd or 3rd, I would put Penn at#1.

So when you see the TV guys making those noise and the deer stop and look up, remember those deer are about as smart as a fawn in Penn. Older bucks knowin Penn "Blah" does not come from a giant squirrel, LOL

If you choose to go this route, you may let one walk past you. Now if the Rut is in full swing and he is chasing a doe, hell yell at him, I did last year and shot the big ten. He was hot, the buck I let pass was by himself and rut was almost over. In time you will learn what to do there is no right answer, just guesses. Sometimes I am right, sometimes I am wrong. I still think to this day, should I have tried and stopped that big 8?Keep up the hard work!!
