I agree, jeremy. I have seen several good scrapes on trails this season.
Sorry about the late post fellas.
Sat. the 8th. set up at 1:00 after having a highly unproductive hunt in the morning, on another property. 1:20 here comes an 11pt, about 18-20inch inside. I had a scent wick out with wild life reasearch #1 select estrus on it at 15 yrds. The buck checked a thicket like I figured a buck would and then I called him to 25 yrds. He was facing me head on. After standing there for 5 minutes I believe the wind shifted and he didnt like something. He turned and bounded off 20 yrds and stopped. After another couple mins. he turned and walked away like nothing ever happened. That was it. The scent didnt work or for some reason he didnt smell it. I dont know, but he was the only buck this year that I would definatly call a "shooter".
