Hey guys, I hunted in the rain this morning, I got a buck last year in the rain, so I thought I would see if I got lucky twice. I saw a buck ( I know, shocking LOL) about 40 yards away, he was a tweener..bigger than a basket rack, but not a wall hanger.I forgot my binos so I decided to grunt to see if he would come in closer. He didn't pay any attention to my tru talker, so I picked up my MAD Growl, I just grunted with it, didn't growl, and here he came. I drew when he stopped behind a tree, he was about 20 yards, and then he steppedinto the open, and couldn't shoot....just couldn't do it. He's nice, would have been my best with a bow, but I am determined to hunt until December for a wall hanger, and this was right behind my house, and there won't be anyone gun hunting it this year. I hope he makes it another year, he's probably a 120 or 125 now, next year he should be great. He was twice the size of the one I took last year, and I normally would have smoked him, but today....i just had to let him go. He lloked to be a 9 with a spead of about 15 inches, almost even with his ears. Good Tine length, but lacked mass, and I know there is a 150 class 10 there. He better not keep tempting me though..[8D]
