I rarely ever get a crack at a mature whitetail during gun season. I find most of my enjoyment during the 3 weeks leading up to gun season in the field with my bow. Last fall was not nearly as productive as years past. I hunted the first 12 days of November without seeing a single deer. My luck changed on the 13th. I gave a few grunts on my grunt tube and 5 min later I caught movement straight ahead of my stand. A mature buck was slowly making his way up the hill in my direction. I quickly readied my bow and came to full draw as he was quartering to me @ 30 yds. He took a few more steps and as he turned broadside I released my arrow. He turned on a dime and bolted back the same way he came and out of sight. He only made it 100 yds.
