Hunt Story
It was an amazing hunt. It was raining off and on. I had watched several younger bucks chasing a doe. After they ran into the woods I started grunt calling and doe bleating aggressively. As soon as I laid my calls down I heard something land on the wet ground. It was this amazing heavy-horned 10-point. He had heard the calls and came in to check it out. I called him to 20 feet, yes feet not yards. I was on the ground up against a hardwood tree covered with privet hedges. I sat up on my knees and he stopped and was looking for me when I then harvested him. The coolest thing is that I have a trail camera picture of him looking for me in the hedges. The camera was between him and me. This was a hunt of a lifetime.
