So not wanting to come up empty, I decided to take what the Good Lord gives me. I am seeing a lot of buck movement this week. The rut is definatly kicking in.
I set up at my Uncle's farm Friday morning. I took a vacation day to hunt before the wind and rain that the hurricane brought us. I had used the bleat n heat can once and gave 3-4 tending grunts when about 7 am a spike came along the fence-line. The fence was north of me and we had a hard south wind. As soon as that spike got down wind, he did an about face and took off.
Not ten minutes later this buck came from behind me about 50 yards to the east. He hit the fence and stopped for a minute. I was praying he would turn west (towards me) and he did. I would have liked to get him by me a little to get a 1/4 away shot but I was afraid of getting winded again. So when he was directly broadside I punched the trigger of my release and let him have a montec behind his shoulder. He jumped the string and I hit him high. He dropped in his tracks and pulled himself around on his front legs until he finally expired. I managed to clip the top of his lungs to seal the deal.

Congrats on the buck Jason. We are in first place and this is just going to increase it.
I still haven't seen any bucks on stand here in PA. The hurricane is putting a halt on hunting for a few days here. I'm hoping to get back out to Ohio this weekend but it depends on whether or not we have electricity at the house. The wife kind of frowns on me leaving her at home without power.
