Its been a couple years since I've taken a decent buck. Short version: Last Tuesday evening (11/14), hunting over persimmons, buck cruised through about 8 minutes before last shooting light. I spotted him just before he disappeared into the timber, grunted at him and received no response, blew a doe bleat 4-5 times and he stopped and took notice, I then grunted once and followed with a snort wheeze and he made his way to me. 35 yard shot. Grossed 140 3/8", 4.5 yr old. Lots of pics of him late December last year and I have one of last years sheds. Only pics of him this year was 10/14 and hadn't seen him since. Gotta love November.

Always wanted a 150 plus inch 8. A 140 would do, but I've only been around 135 or so.
Yours is a PRETTY buck! Congrats.
