Ya, he was the first buck I have ever called in, as this is the first year I have taken hunting seriously (I know it sounds bad, but in previous years I didn' t really know what I was doing)...and still don' t I have used this board as a learning tool and have studied magazines and the like to try and increase my knowledge of whitetail habits. I have never taken a deer with my bow, never dressed a deer out by myself etc... No one in my immediate family hunts, so I have to rely on friends and complete strangers in my quest for harvesting a deer. I just learned a valuable lesson, unfortunately I learned the hard way. It is really warm here this week in s.w. michigan, so in a way its a good thing I didn' t put a shot on that guy, as I couldn' t hang him anyway.
