I was able to take my first deer with a bow on Saturday, but here is the rest of the story.
Around 9:00 am, I start into a calling sequence with my grunt call and " Can" . I flipped the can over a couple of times, and then I hear it just to my right in the thick pines, a deep heavy grunt. I thinking , okay this could get interesting. I reach for my bow, and put the " Can" in my side pouch on my stand. I give a couple of grunts and he grunts back. We played this little gfame for a few minutes, and I think to myself, " I' ll give a couple more flips on the ' Can' ." I reach down to get it out of the side pouch and that' s when it happened. I was spotted. No snorting or carrying on, he did not even bolt through the trees. Just merrily turned around a walked off. Better luck next time on the big boy. I did get to take my first doe about an hour later.
This was first experience with calling actually working and it was exciting to say the least.
