Raining at dawn so I skipped the morning hunt and let my wife sleep in. Went out at 12:00 planning on sitting till dark. As soon as I got in the stand and settled, I did an aggressive snort wheeze & rattling sequence. When I say aggressive I mean I got LOUD. 5 mins or so later my brother called to figure out our afternoon hunting plans. 2 mins into the conversation I spot him walking strait towards me out of a nasty thicket with his head and ears up looking for a fight. I just said shooter into the phone set it down, grabbed my bow and shot him at 5yds. Center punched his heart. He didn’t make it 20yds.
