1st buck on my farm in Illinois. Sat all day in rain and wind. I spotted this guy about 100 yrds out kicking scrapes and tearing up trees. Gave him a couple grunts. He looked my way and then took off. He actually circled downwind and 2 mins later he was standing at the bottom of my tree. Slick Trick let the air out of him. Saw lots of bucks and sign is unreal. Scrapes and rubs all over. I had 2 encounters with a huge 10 pt that has been haunting me for 2 years now. I also saw one of the oldest bucks Ive ever seen. He had no neck, his head was attached to his chest. He limped, one eye gouged out and all scarred up. A true warrior. That made my hunt. That is exactly the type of deer Im trying to attract to the farm. I hope to get a trail cam pic of him. Hes huge in the body, downhill on the rack.
