This morning I went back to the same stand as last night. It was a great morning, cold (23f) and calm. At first light I gave a series of grunts. Blind calling. I have a technique that I like to use. I start out soft with two grunts, wait a few minutes, if nothing happens give it 4-5 grunts nice and loud like something is exciting the daylights out of a buck. Put the call down and get ready. Within minutes of calling, I heard a buck rubbing a tree. A few more minutes I hear a couple of grunts. I finally spot the buck and notice he is moving away from me across the creek. I try spotting him with the binos and cannot tell which 8 pt it is. As he moves even further away, I grunt at him 5 times. 15 minutes later, he shows up in front of my stand 14 yards away, broadside, looking away from me! He finally moves off, then circles back behind me at 10 yards, in another shooting lane. He hits my enterance trail and freezes for five long minutes. Finally, as a lot of mature bucks will do, he does a 180 and slowly walks away. Sometimes they will not cross your trail, they'll circle around. This led to another exciting hunt. BTW, I've rescored him at 131" gross, a respectable buck. See the photo below. It's my hunting spot. A funnel between doe bedding areas.

Stand 1- This is where I first spotted the 150 ten and the big 8. This stand is a good observation stand as well as hunting. This is the stand where the smaller 134" ten rubbed his antlers on my tree while I was in it!

Stand 2- This is the stand where I've grunted in the 8 pt, twice!

Stand 3- This is the stand I'll be hunting in tonight!

Good luck to all!
