If you are close enough that you can hear a deers footsteps you don't need to be blowing on any grunt call. You already had him coming your way. All you did was make him go on more "Red Alert" because of the closeness of the grunt. There's a time for everything.... this was the time to SUCK on that grunt tube and be ready to shoot. You can also over do the spraying of buck lure. Even though the wind appears steady it seldom is. The rain pushes everything right to the ground. The slightest shift can spray your stink a long ways. He probably heard you, saw you and smelled you. He just slipped away a lot smarter than he was. There's always the outside chance he thought he was going to get his butt whipped.... but I doubt it.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
