I got in my stand around 630am and heard some deer moving after getting setup in my stand then had 2 turkeys fly down 3 feet away from me then when it just was getting light enough to see I had a small 6pt walk in front of me then 45 mins later I had 3 doe came in with a decent 7pt and watched him make a scrap then walk off then 50mins later heard something behind me and saw him on the other side of the gully eating and watched him for 15 to 20 mins then I grunted and did doe bleat and that didn’t do anything then I rattled and grunted at him and he started walkin my way and came into 30 yards and was checking out the scrap the 7pt made and I knew I had to take the shot and did then he only ran 60 yards and watched him fall down once on the top of the hill then went into the gully and fell down and died right there
