Persistence Paid Off
I just finished up my first block of vacation for the rut and I am glad I kept at it. I hunted public land in SE Wisconsin the whole time and I saw only 4 deer (all bucks) in five full days of hunting. The 1st day I saw a busted up 8 pt / 2.5 yr old. Nothing the next two days and on the evening of the fourth I rattled in a 2.5 yr old 7pt and 11pt, but the 11 pt I already passed on opening weekend of bow so I did again... it was a lot harder to pass him the second time. The 5th day in the evening I was lucky enough to be in the right spot at the right time. I was able to take this 5 x 3 at 10 yards after he responded to my can call from about 70 yards out. I was super pumped to get this buck, my goal this season was to get a 3.5 or older and a bigger racked buck than my last, I believe this buck filled both requirements. Also his leg was broken really bad just above the hoof on his rear right leg, I think that might be why he wasn't rutted up like most bucks are right now. Even looked like he might of lost some weight, I know plenty of deer survive with three legs, but it appeared it was getting to him. Good luck to all and hunt safe.

I don't know how it happened, but it looks like I posted my story twice. Sorry about that.
