At first light I had two does directly under my stand trying to figure me out but they eventually walked off. At 7:20 I heard a stick break 40-50 yards south of my stand, thinking it may be a buck I gave a two soft grunts and he answered with a big deep grunt and headed straight towards my stand. I instantly knew it was a deer I wanted to shoot and use my second buck tag on. He closed the distance and gave me a 15 yard quartering away shot. He ran about 50 yards and died in some water on the edge of a lake. Two years in a row out of the same stand and only 20 minutes apart I was able to tag out on a great SW Michigan buck!
