I killed an eater-grade whitetail buck yesterday in western Montana where the rut seems to be peaking. At my first stop I used a Primos Big Buck Bag, rattled once, waited 10 minutes, rattled again, waited 5 minutes, then gave two small grunts figuring I'd move in another 10 minutes if nothing showed. I saw a flash in the trees 50 yards upwind as an animal started coming in fast, I got my 308 up before I could see headgear, then he was in my scope trotting in on a string. I dropped him with a Barnes 150 gr. TSX which made quite an impression at 8 yards! Fat public land 3X3, perfect for the freezer. I was back at the truck with him in an hour. The final grunts seem to be what closed the deal.
