Wow! I almost went against my own advice and shot a 129" 8! What was I thinking? I guess a couple of sparse days makes the smaller ones look pretty good. At least I held off. Patience, man.

After I passed on the 8, a button buck comes along and beds 20 yards from my stand. After 15 minutes, I give him 5 loud grunts... nothing. So I give him a few bleats from my can call.... Nothing! Finally, I just pack up and slowly cilmb down the tree... Nothing! So I just sneak out of there. He must have been super tired to not see a 6'2", 225 lb guy climb out of a tree just 20 yards away. It was cool that I got out of there without being detected.
