I wouldn't hesitate, but keep it on the non-aggressive side. I grunted at the mature buck I shot last night and, obviously, he was very receptive to it. The first couple got his attention, and a snort wheeze actually turned him back my way. He came in to 15 yds and I smoked him! :way: Give...

Hey, I want to post a pic of the buck but not sure how to do it - help guys (or ladies)? :confused: I looked at the FAQ, but still couldn't figure it out. Any help is appreciated - I'll also give you the story! Thanks! :way:
