RE: Buck lays down by you, what do you do?
Now thats what I call Hunting.
As far as I'm concerned you did every thing right.
The fact that you were not noticed by the doe or the smaller buck
speaks for itself.Generally its those animals that blow a hunters chance for success.
The patience that you showed under those circumstances is commendable
it must have been tough but you persevered through it and got rewarded
for your effort.
Nicely Done.
That buck will only get bigger,You obviously have the technigue down,
you'll bag him next year.
