Honey Hole Buck

Saturday I went to hunt the buck that I've hunted several times this year. Mainly because I have been watching him on the camera and have placed him on my hit list. At 6:30 I had deer starting to feed by me, and from then on all morning I had deer in sight at all times. Anywhere from 1 to 8 deer at one time. There were small bucks, spikes and four points in the group maybe even a 6 or two. Finally at 9:30 I see thru the woods at a distance I see a deer and I knew right a way that's a shooter buck simply by the size of the body. Then I see a second deer coming in from a different direction and he also was a big bodied deer. They work their way in closer and still I couldn't see them well enough to tell which one is the biggest. They stayed just out far enough out that I couldn't tell when all of a sudden one of them charges off. What he did was run the other buck off then came back. At this point I knew which one was boss, the only thing was he was still in the thick and I didn't have an open shot. So I used my mouth and grunted a couple of times loud and it got his attention. Then I gave him one longer and slightly deeper grunt. He turn and walked into the open and came broad side at 150 yards. I was thinking do I take the shot or do I try and let one of the girls get a chance at him possibly latter. I decide to take the shot and one shot and he ran about 50 yards. It is pretty awesome to have pictures and videos of a buck before the season then be able to hunt him down.
