hmmm i just may have to try it late saturday morning...just to see...and keep me on stand an extra hour or 2. i know they arent real aggressive yet...but they are curious creatures....and are sparring and starting to set up dominance and territories as the bachlor groups break up....im willing to try anything! lol

i know not to go bonkers with the antlers...just goin to clank them together a tiny bit and put them away..maybe grunt a time or 2. figure it cant hurt. it CAN and does happen in the woods...highly doubt i SPOOK anything unless they watch me move...

i wish i could hunt deer like i do spring gobblers. i love interacting with the animals. i love deer hunting...but i get down right bored and frustrated at times...i think its because of my rifle hunting habits. id set up in funnels and escape routes and let other hunters get the deer moving...or drives which lasted no more than 2 hours and we were moving to the next spot...and im used to seeing deer pretty often. wasnt uncommon to see 20 or 30 a day..now im happy to see a deer. im getting better...i make 10 or 11 am sits pretty easy now...but still get that frustrated feeling of sitting there and it raining acorns and nothing within sight...
