I took this buck on October 25th with a crossbow. The wind shifted while I was in the stand, blowing from behind me, so that my downwind side was directly in front of me. I put down a good amount of scent to help mask my own, including a few sprays of buck bomb Doe P and some solid stick estrus. Then I proceeded to make a ruckus, doing a combination of grunts, doe bleats & some rattling sequences. About 15 minutes later, the deer walked out of the brush directly in front of me and stopped about 18 yards away. I shot him, then he trotted a few feet in an arc back towards the trees. I made a "maa" sound, he stopped and tipped over. He died within 20 yards of where I was sitting.
This is first animal I've shot with a mechanical head (Rage). I thought it was all hype until this hunt.
Now that I have my buck for the year, I might have to chase some does with my muzzleloader, or go back to pursuing varmints.
