Got out to the stand early. As soon as I got settled I could hear grunts and splashing in the swamp. Half hour after the commotion a doe came in and stood looking behind her. He came in a few minutes after and was not stopping. I grunted at him and he finally stopped 35 yards out under a cedar with just enough view of the body. I let her fly, he ran about 50 yards. I’ve been hunting the same property in Ferry Mi since I was 12. I’m 30 years old and this is my biggest by far, you can imagine the happiness.
