Rattled an 11 pointer in...MO buck # 2 down!!!!!
 

[hr]

Well, we had a high of 49 today and it melted most of the snow. I decided to leave the croplands and get way back into a cow pasture/timber area about 3/4 of a mile from the nearest house. I rattled this guy in on only my 2nd attempt of the set. He came in from my left and there was no way for him to wind me with my setup unless he wanted to jump a fence and approach in wide open country. He got within 10 yds of my tree and made the fatal mistake of stepping into a small clearing that gave me the opportunity I was looking for. I had been on full draw for easily 2-3 minutes as I expected him to walk into a different shooting lane. I squeezed my arrow through a narrow opening of limbs(hunting in thick hedgeapple tree country) and I smoked him. He ran approx 50 yds and I heard him fall. Time was approx 4:30. What a year!!!!!!!!!!!!! I thanked God for another awesome archery harvest, climbed down, set up my portable tripod, and started snapping pics. 11 scoreable points and my 2nd 11 pointer of the year. One happy MO bowhunter!!!! [/align][/align][/align][/align][/align][/align][/align]

RE: Rattled an 11 pointer in...MO buck # 2 down!!!!!
 

What a beautiful buck!

RE: Rattled an 11 pointer in...MO buck # 2 down!!!!!
 

I appreciate the kind words and congrats everyone!!!!!!! Gotta love this game we call bowhunting. Right place, right time, learn everytime you go out, put your learnings to practice, use your best judgement on where to hang your stand, and keep your cool when they come in. Then if they position themselves just right, and there is a shooting lane...it all comes together. That's why I love it; close encounters and so many variables as to your success.

RE: Rattled an 11 pointer in...MO buck # 2 down!!!!!
 

Unreal! You are having one heck of a year.

RE: Rattled an 11 pointer in...MO buck # 2 down!!!!!

Way to get the job done Don, Congrats on another good Buck.

RE: Rattled an 11 pointer in...MO buck # 2 down!!!!!
 

Congrats! I'm just curious did you use a rattle bag or clash some real antlers. Just curious.

RE: Rattled an 11 pointer in...MO buck # 2 down!!!!!
 

rattlebags suck IMO. Never had any success with them. I use real antlers. I rattled pretty lightly and not very aggressive..late season and all.....I did two 20 second rattles....15 minutes apart.

RE: Rattled an 11 pointer in...MO buck # 2 down!!!!!
 

That's a beautiful kill, hardcore. Congratulations.

RE: Rattled an 11 pointer in...MO buck # 2 down!!!!!
 

congrats...great deer!

RE: Rattled an 11 pointer in...MO buck # 2 down!!!!!
 

Thats an awesome buck Don, Congrats! An amazing season!

RE: Rattled an 11 pointer in...MO buck # 2 down!!!!!
 

Congratulations Don! Very nice buck! Did he come in hard? Or cautiously try to circle you down wind?

RE: Rattled an 11 pointer in...MO buck # 2 down!!!!!
 

Came in ears slightly layed back and looking for business. Came in a string like a dog whistled to. He didn't leave the brush..never tried to jump the fence and circle downwind in the open country.

RE: Rattled an 11 pointer in...MO buck # 2 down!!!!!
 

wow congrats! heck of a season!

RE: Rattled an 11 pointer in...MO buck # 2 down!!!!!
 

That's typical when a buck comes In to fight, I've seen them do the very same thing a quite of few times.

Don, you fricking stud you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are the man this year!!!!! A big congratulation's to you!! Awesome buck and one hell of a year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Proud of ya man!!!!!
