Rusk County Buck Growl Buck
Shot this toad November 3rd at 9am. Buck Growl buck.
This buck never showed up on any of our cameras placed through out the property. Most of the bordering land is big chunks mainly owned by the local farmers. None of the farmers had seen him nor any other local neighbors. He was a ghost. The farmers I talked to said it was bigger than any bucks they had seen throughout the year...and they see hundreds of deer every week.
The hunt....I had a few smaller bucks cruising through the small stand of cedars just after shooting time. They all came down the trail under my stand. All yearling or small 2.5yr olds. Things got real slow and quiet around 9am. I pulled out my new buck growl grunt call I bought the day before. I literally went nuts on it. Growling, clicking, tending grunts and some improvised sounds. LOL! Not more than 2 minutes later he came walking down the edge of the cedars with his hair all bristled up. I was in a poplar tree about 16 feet off the ground near the edge of where the cedar trees start. He came down the perfect trail and gave me a broadside 18 yard shot. Double lunged him and he piled up within 50 yards. I didn't realize how big he really was until I walked up on him. My biggest and should go over 150. Main frame 10 pt with double brows making him 12pt.
I didn't have time to hit record on my bow mounted camera. It would of made for great film. Darn it!
He's 19.25" on inside. Haven't put tape on him yet but he should hit low 150's.

Dandy buck.
You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.
