Gabriel Goar: “I had an encounter with this buck at 7:15 this morning with his nose to the ground at 36 yards. He quickly moved off the trail so I tried to do a grunt at him to no avail. Around 8:20 I heard some chasing and grunting so I tried some more grunting only with a Deep mature grunt call. The doe ran into the trail at 4 yards from my tree and not too long behind her a spike buck. After lowering my bow I thought to myself there is no way that a spike buck made that grunt! About 7 min later I heard him again and he was right where she had been running. He tried hard to find the spot and ended up at 8 yards from me and I let the bow string sing! I heard him crash and he dropped about 50 yards from the stand.”
