Doe Bleats: A Must Have in Your Arsenal
30, Sep 2008At about 9:30, with the rays of the morning sun peeking through the tree limbs, I saw the tell tale flash of white out of the corner of my eye. About 75 yards away from me, on the edge of my woodlot and a corn field, I saw a tall racked 6 point buck cruising with a [...]
