Default RE: Close calls.....

All I have to say is "cell phone" buck.

Guys make sure when you power off or silence your phones--that they really are off or silent.

I had a bigger buck than the one in my avatar come in to some grunt calls that I was making. Actually, I called him away from a doe. He was "sneezing" which I later found out to be the mysterious snort wheeze.

Long story-short story, I was full drawn on a nice mature buck less than 7 yards away when my phone vibrates in my backpack. A friend of mine was calling to see when I would be out of the woods[:@]. Looking back, I could have killed that buck before the phone vibrated but I was afraid the small twig in between us would have caused me to miss (which it would not have affected the arrow one bit I'm sure)

I still regret not shooting him even to this day. Oh well![&o]

BTW: Mobow, I cried in the woodsthat day too.
