Thanks again all!



Went out this morning with my brother in-law. He sat in the same stand that I shot my buck out of yesterday...didn't see anything. I sat in a stand over looking the corner of our woods, and where two standing corn fields meet. Had a 6pt chasing a doe in the corn....they eventually came right under me...but she wouldn't stop.

I grunted a while later..then tipped my can call over. That has been magical for me lately! As it turns out, a different 6pt came in acting tough. Made a scrape..freshened another one up...and went off into the corn. I'll try to upload the pic of him from my phone....

Later, a nice doe and a (still!) spotted button buck showed up. They passed in front of me...but I couldn't move b/c she was so skiddish. They got to about the area that I field dressed my deer at...then she freaked out and they ran back into the corn.

20 minutes later, a HUGE doe comes out where the two fields meet...with two button bucks. One had a huge body...the other guy was tiny. They all checked the scrapes I'm over looking....and then got close to the area I field dressed the buck. Like clockwork, all 3 busted out of there. BAH!


I've never seen deer act so skiddish. Maybe it was all of the scent? Or they could smell the guts that I tossed into a weedy thicket? Maybe coyote's came and ate some..left some scent...and they smelled that? I have zero clue...but it's worry-some.



I'm sorry for such a terrible pic....but pics are fun to look at regardless! lol If you look close, you can see the 6pt with his nose on the ground...probably smelling the estrous I sprayed on the grassy path along the edge of the field. I'm suprised my camera-phone still works after sitting in a rain puddle for 20 minutes this past spring.
