Goose, way to put one down. Things are heating up in Northern Il. I had a scenario with a 150 class Saturday night.
He was crossing an open field an hour before sunset, I was in the woods, but I could see a portion of the field, he was about 150yds away.
I gave him a grunt, he looked up but continued on walking, then I gave him a long snort wheeze, that pissed him off. He bolted right towards me and stopped 50yds to my left, body was very large, its neck was already swelled up. I thought he was going to come right in, but he circled behind me, which was down wind, and stayed in the thicket behind me till dark.
I was an awesome hunt, I sat in stand all day, I only saw 7 deer, but 5 were bucks. I had a 100 class 2 year old right under my stand. My buddy who was hunting the same farm passed on a 120” 2 year old and saw 4 bucks. It’s a great sign to see daylight movement. It’s only going to get better…..
