PREDATE Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I was out til' 10 this AM. No sightings, but did hear a faint grunt or 2. last evening I let 3 doe pass at 20 yds. One of them was grunting the whole way as she passed and as luck would have it, the buck came through after shooting light. I couldn't see him, but he sounds big Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeBugg Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Heard a few grunts yesterday. Buck was chasing a doe to my left. All i saw was body parts and he wouldnt come across the powerline cut to check me out lol. My buddy saw a buck chasing yesterday morning too. They are moving!

Nomad Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Went down to move a stand and redo posted signs on south boarder. At 1 00 watched a decent 7 almost to ear tips cross open field and head into my thick cover. All I had was a 9mm and hatchet... Good luck.
