Friday afternoon as I was making my way to my stand I spotted a nice little buck feeding in a hollow. Since it had rained quite a bit earlier that day it made for a perfect stalk... which I love doing!
After dousing myself with BTD coverscent (made by our own Knight_VA) I started closing in on the buck. 50 yards away and down in the hollow and the wind starts swirling. The buck I think realizes something is amiss but doesn't spook. I close the distance some more until I run out of stalking cover. The buck is 40 yards and the wind is still swirling and the deer gets a little nervous but still doesn't spook. I pull out my Primos hardwood grunter and give 2 really soft contact grunts. The buck turns and starts heading toward me. At 30 yard he goes behind a tree and I draw. He comes out the other side and I make another grunt with my mouth to stop him and he does... 30 yards and the arrow busts him in the shoulder... 50 yards away I watch as he goes down! I sit down right where I shot from and take out my binoculars and look him over. I can see that his right side has 4 points! (not including brow tines which I could not see)
I waited about 10 minutes and slipped over to the deer and discovered that it was a beautiful little 8 pointer. The brow tines that I could not see were not even there! He didn't have a hint of a brow tine but had 4 points to a side. I was pretty proud of him.
I'm not one for advertising but without BTD coverscent and my Primos grunt tube this deer would still be out there!
Hope everyone had some success this weekend... just wanted to share with you folks!
BTW, just to keep this on topic I almost got a shot at a turkey while I was coming out of the woods to get help! That would have been really awesome! |

Great job Freddy, I am glad you scored. What kind of spread did he have? I was equally impressed with Max's product the first day. Post some pics!!! |
