BUCK PAYS NO MIND!!!
The other day I was still hunting with my bow and I had decided to sit in a little dip in the ground next to a 150 acre field.Well the dip was deep enough that I could sit in it comfortably and still be able to draw my bow if needed.I sat there for a long time and finally a few does came out of the woodline on the other side of the field,about 10 minutes later a 22-2.5 year old 8-pointer came out of the woodline behind them.The buck was eating for a while and then started to head for the does and he passed me by,I was only about 60 yards or so away(not a very good bow range obviously) so I began grunting in a low tone towards him and he just blew me off,so I used the "Can" and he totally ignored it like I wasn't even there.This is really annoying.The buck to doe ratio is about 1:10 and I'm not sure if it is that or if he just really wanted one of those does,but just ignored me and I couldn't believe it.Any pointers on this?

Live does can be great for pulling in bucks, but they are also your toughest competition when calling deer. That, and it really needs to be right for calls to work. So don't give up, if he had the does in his sight, it can be hard to call them off.
