All i know is that it had horns. I was panicked and surprised that the rattling worked to tell big he really was. But he looked rite at me. Should i find better cover

Relax..........that's what I would do!! LOL Funny to hear of your excitement though!

x2 that's awesome! :smiley_clap:

Jason stay put! If you don't get one today you got 3 months left. If one comes back take a couple deep breaths and calm your nerves before you shoot and make sure you have a clear shot!

This is great to read :smiley_clap:

I would just stay put and wait about 20 minutes or so and hit the horns together again. The same buck might come back or you might get a different buck or you might get nothing. That's hunting. It can change in a blink of an eye and we have to be quick and think a few steps ahead.

This!!
Just take a deep breath man! I rattled my first buck in lastnight an he busted me too, didn't blow out of their but just stopped his hoof twice, than turned around and circled around stiff legged. I rattled about 20 mintues later and he came flying back in again. Awesome to read the excitement though I'm pretty sure we all can relate to this feeling you're having right now. Just take a deep breath, sit down in the stand, STAY PUT, and than in about 20 mintues or so rattle again and maybe throw a couple grunts in their and see if he does the same again! Good luck!
