Default RE: Weekend Bucks

I'm at college right now but on Friday there were some drunks playing poker and being really loud at two in the morning, and by 3:30 I decided they weren't going to cut it out and I threw on my camo and grabbed my camera, flashlight, and TrueTalker to go "hunting." I sat under a big old tree near a heavily traveled trail next to a swamp that I've seen doe bedded down in all the time and by 4:10 or so a buck showed up. I called him in within ten yards, but it was so dark that I could barely see his body. Only know he was a buck because he grunted at me after I made a young buck call on the TrueTalker. That was the first time I've ever seen a buck in the woods, and was very cool! Now I know what buck fever is though! Hell when I was getting up to leave after he moved on (without even detecting me!) I snapped a stick and damn near shot up the tree!
