HAD THE BEST HUNT OF MY LIFE TONIGHT...sat for a little bit watching birds make alot of noise in front of me in some brush. I then hear deer noise behind me ,,,I turn around and see a deer making a whole bunch of noise. Then I See a huge rack tearing the branch of a tree up!! I knew he was a nice one being able to see his rack through all the trees and brush. After I stood up I gave the Can a try. Im not sure if he heard it or not , but he did proceed to cut across to where I needed him to be. When I got a clear look at him, man o man I havent ever seen a buck that big while on the stand!! He looked like a huge 3.5 year old 8, pry 130# and thats huge for where I hunt in southwest MI IMO. I WAS SHAKIN IN MY BOOTS. He got to about 40 yards out which is about the max I will shoot , but the stand I was hunting in didnt offer a lane. I needed him to come about 10 yards south in any direction and I WOULD HAVE HAD A CHANCE!! Just my luck he goes north and continues to tear up yet another scrape. I try to grunt him this time and he looks up as I freeze every muscle in my body, he looks down, and then he proceeds to tear up his scrape.. I grunted him again but same response...he finally walked off.. And not so long after I had several deer also all around me at dark just being louder then can be. ITS PRIME TIME!!! Im going out in the morning

Do you think its possible he saw me? I honestly don't think he did by how he wasent alert at all.
