Jeff, I just thought of something and it may or may not be the case, we'll never know but maybe the reason I did see so many bucks was the calling. They came looking but didn't commit. Who knows it could have been right place, right time but that was an exceptional 2 evenings in a treestand.
It was also the 1st time that woodlot had ever been hunted (to my knowledge.....and knowing the landowner).
Worth noting.
I've tried calling in similar, close proximity spots....to no avail.
