Default Finaly seen a rack

After all the does and small bucks , this morning I spotted a nice racked uck .
He was over 600 yards acroos a green field .
He came out exactly where a doe and fawn came out an hr earlier .
He ate very little melled the ground and looked like he was on a mission although he was not head to the ground and walking in a straight line .
I grunted a couple times and he looked and started heading in another direction .
I rattled my rattle bag a little and he started my way but not straight at me .
He got to abought 350 to 400 yards and was heading back in the woods traveling through some 3 foot high grass .
ell I tride a little more light rattling , it appeared to be working.
I tried ranging him one last time before he stepped into the woods but there was thick brush between us so I guesstimated 350 yards and NO shot ..AAArrrghh...
I figured he was comming right to me so I just patiently waited and watched and waited and waited and nothing .
I had some tinks 69 out so I,m sure the way the wind was blowing he originaly smelled it and thats what drew him out from the other side .
I staid another 3 hrs, Took a slooowww walk in the direction I last seen him and seen nothing ..
Went back a couple hrs later and made a scent drag a few hundred yards long , NO LUCK ,,,,
Well it suppose to rain heavy with high winds tonight until 7 am ..
I may or may not go in the morning depends on the wind ..
Heres to hoping...
