Never mind I missed it in your quote.[8D] I see it says November 6th. That time of year the bucks are about as dumb as they get and I'm guessing thats a big reason why he came in down wind of you. I've had the same thing happen numerous times as well during the rut being there heads are so far up there ass's during this time of year. Usually what saves a buck that time of year is the doe's nose there following or trailing, not theres. Any other time of year chances are that buck might never of came in. One will never know I guess.
