......or not? I dunno. What do you think?

Let me try to set the stage. I'm in a tree 50 yards off a field edge insome semi thickishwoods (facing the field).Good shooting lanes from 12:00 to my right around to about 9:00. 9:00 to 12:00 not so good (foreshadowing [:-]). I spot a buck in the field to my right about 100 yards away. He's heading right towards my stand and beds down in the fieldabout 60 yards away. I sit there and just watch him for about a half hour. He decides to get up and go mobile again. Cool! Starts headingtowards my stand again. Really cool!He doesn't dip into the woods like he's "supposed" to though. He walks along the woodline and field edge still to my right. He walks along the edge (which I'm 50 yards from) looking like he's going to duck into the woods at any minute and head right to me.Well now he's passed in front of me at 12:00 and ifstarting to look like he's going to head the other way. So I grunt at him and he stops dead in his tracks.He doesnt' move for a minute or so. Then he turns his head and looks like he's going to head the opposite way again. I grunt again. Now I got his attention.He turns and heads towards my setup. Remember the 9:00 to 12:00 spot around my stand? He works his way in to 15 yards andI have absolutely nothing but a look at him. Couldn't figure out a way to get an arrow to himif I wanted to. So after he dinks around there looking for the source of the grunt for a few minutes he heads offnever giving me a shot.

So.....what if I grunted to him while he was bedded? What if I grunted to him before he reached that 12:00 position? I probably would have had him turned and righton the good side of my stand location for a good shot. Hmmmmmmm. Just second guessing whatwould have happened. I grunted him in finally, but just too late evidently. I let him get past my stand and he came back in where I didnt' have a shot. On the other handit looked like he was going to do what he was"supposed" to do and slip into the woods without me grunting.
