After getting settled, I decided to do dome rattling. It didn't take long. At 9:30am, I looked over to the west and there was a small 6 pointer working a scrape about 45 yards to the west of me. I grunted to him a few times, but he walked off to the south. I don't think he really saw the decoys.

October 14, 2015 Adam Connects

Wednesday, October 14, 2015.  Adam was out by himself this evening.  He got down here early and went to the Sugar Shack.  He was ready to go by 2:00 pm.  He had a nice evening sit, and then it finally happened. Two does came into the plot from the E-NE.  He waited until the biggest doe presented him a nice broadside shot.  At 6:43 pm, he pulled back and let an arrow fly.  It connected and she ran off to the E-SE towards Pisa. She didn't go far, as Adam was able to recover her in about 75 yards just below the Pisa stand.  Congratulations on harvesting a mature doe.  She is a great trophy.
