Burb Buck

For the last couple of years my son rides his bike in this woodlot located between a subdivision and a interstate. Dad , I saw a buck today while riding my bike you should go hunt there..
Well my son is in college so I figured why not.. I go into the woodlot and find his old bike trails with a lot of people sign.. I called him and he directed me to the general area of where he use to see the deer and sign. Sure enough "Bingo" I found the area and hung a stand for the following weekend.
Friday night I go to Dicks and buy some Ruttin Buck Territorial scent..
Saturday morning I heard something walking up above my location but never could see it. Heading back in for evening stand I smeared the Ruttin Buck on trees and limbs as I walk down the logging road in route to the stand...
6:30pm I pack my fanny pack to head home for the evening and then I heard what I thought was a raccoon coming down the logging road. Just Great I thought darn coons , hey wait that's a deer ... 15 seconds later he turns broadside smelling the Ruttin Stick scent that I previously rubbed on the tree... Thwack @ 22yds I watched the Luminoc go into the boiler room... As I listened It sounded as he went down quickly but I decided to back out and give him a couple of hours and wait for help to arrive.
The deer went 25 yds from a perfect heart shot.. The drag was nasty and hard but Vtfishin and I got the deer to the parking lot @ 12:30am... Long night but its nice to have one in the box this early in the year.
