    Thanks Doug, and thanks everyone else for all the kind words. I am extremely happy this hunt came together. I am also happy I had the strength to wait (prayer answered). The down side, I've handed the East 150 points. I feel like such a turncoat! I'm hoping to wash those points with a better deer from Alberta. One step at a time though. I'm heading to Wyoming this weekend to hunt three buffalo with friends. Miss Jessica is meeting us in Lusk. I'm only after the meat so Jess is going to whack my bison for me. It's a win/win situation...results pending.

    And per your honest take on the scent, I just ordered 2 bottles of 4 play. I need all the help I can get it seems.

    Brandon, sorry I missed you. I hear you're related to KC. It would have been nice to swap stories....

    Rob, stick me in the left eye next time were together...I'll do my best to make matters a wash. Sorry.......

    cls74, I hope the scent works for you as well as it worked for me. I was impressed to say the least. Best wishes.

    Jakeratt, if you know Steele then you know he was hounding me during this whole hunt. He threaten to cut my throat if I shot a young deer. Steele is one of my heros!

    Christine, do you live near the Sullivans? How do you know them?

    Great Story Will
    Video was good also and Will,make sure you bring some of that scent with you so I can use some too k!!! If I would have had some today I might of shot a similar size buck also,instead he didn't smell anything that was inviting and walked away. See you in 2 weeks tomorrow my friend.

    Congrats Will!
    Fine story my friend and I am going to get me a bottle of 4play to try out on my gun hunt
    up north in a week. I like fiddling around with this kind of stuff. I had a bottle I cant think of the name of it for the life of me but I brought that up north one year. The bucks that came in was a sight
    to see and I wish I could find it again.
    Way to go,
    T
