LOL that's a crappy situation as you know.[:'(][:o]

It sure is lining up like opening weekend of gun is going to be crazy. NY bowhunters missed the peak rut this year. I'll still be toting along my bow hoping one that is running mach 10 stops for me in bowrange [:-].

Out of my comfort range. I may or may not be able to make that shot, but I'll never find out. I know my limitations. Outside of 30 yards my groupings are good, but not good enough IMO. Would prefer to keep my 2 deer lost (2 too many)in 20 years of bowhunting intact.

**the good news...... I sat the same area and saw another shooter buck in the same field. I figure that doubles my chances for the last few days of bow. I'm going to hunt that area hard sunrise to sunset for the next 3 days.

I've learned a long time ago not to hang that close to a field edge, either be in the field (right on the edge) or back in the woods much farther...that's been my experience.

He was scanning the woods, didn't see the doe he knew he heard...they can pinpoint the exact tree I swear. I hang on the edge, call back into the timber so when they come to the edge to search the timber, he's already in range with usually no obsticles for shots.

When they hang up like that point your grunt tube away from the buck and start working the hell out of it. Hit the can for a half bleat and work the tube again. Then hit the can. Be agressive, what do you have to lose? It has worked for me many times.

Best advice there is....after all...it's gospel!

Ever thought of using a decoy??

RE: Uncle
 

Sounds like it went exactly the way my turkey season went this year. I would have 3-4 gobblers located every morning and they would hang up about 50 yards out. I even used a decoy to try tobring them in but it just didnt work. Maybe you could try one but it would be a big risk because it might spook him.

Good luck man.
