    Ok so i posted the wrong pic of the deer that got hit by the car here this is the deer i missed last night
    [​IMG]

    Thought he was the 14 he is the 11/12
    He was chasing 2 doe grunting like i have never heard before.
    He chased them in a circle right into a clearing i had.
    I grunt loud he stopped right at 35 yards. I put my 40 pin under his chest and let it fly.
    I have never had a deer drop so low.
    He hit the dirt and leaves so hard that the flew up of the ground.
    My arrow flew about 2" over his back.
    He stood up grunted and went right back after the does.
    Yesterday was one of the best days in my woods in years

    This rut has been incredible.
    Try rattling and grunting at the same time. I had 4 small bucks come in on that yesterday

    Here's my doe guys............poor girl had a rough morning. Buck was chasing her like crazy and she was trying to get away from him for half the morning. My buck tag is full so I am ejoying the show but their path suddenly changed and she bolted 20 yards in front of me so I sent an arrow right over that bucks head and then all hell broke loose with none of the deer knowing what the hell just happened. One of the cooler sits I have had in awhile.

    Anyways, here's my 50 spot...........I am done, best of luck boys, shoot straight, be safe and keep piling them up :)
