My son Tye shot this deer on Wednesday Nov. 11th after school. He saw him last Thursday (Nov 5th) but couldn't get a clean shot. He passed on many bucks throughout the season including a 90" 8pt that seemed to want to die! He had him at 5yds a few times. On Wednesday he rattled in a small six and called in a 5pt  with a doe. Then he thought he had the high light of the night when watched his first bobcat in the wild. Moments later he called in his buck at 15 yards. He told me he sounded like a bear coming through the woods! I hated to tell him "That's a poor analogy." we got a good laugh out it when I explained why. He now says "He sounded like a flock of turkeys coming in!” HA! He called me within seconds on the cell at 5 pm, I looked at my cell and thought this better be good to be calling me at primetime. He said "Dad I just shot a giant! I shot the big 8 with the sticker!” I asked him if he hit it good and he told me that it buckled when he shot and went 40 yards and fell over. I'll be honest with you; I almost jumped out of my stand and then almost went to lower my bow without hooking it up to the pull up rope! I walked fast to our trucks and Dad was there already too. Mind you we had maybe less than 30 minutes of premium hunting left and we could have cared less. Dad said "I'm that nervous I can’t think!” Tye sat in his stand until Dad and I got there which took well over an hour because we were hunting a different property and stopped at my house to change into our Carharts and grab extra lights.
When we got to the deer we all just stood there and stared at the buck before we touched him and then we all laughed and congratulated Tye. I'm sure proud of him! My dad asked Tye if he was going to leave the tailgate down on his truck when he went through town and Tye said "No, we don't do that.”
We scaled the deer out at 203# live weight and he measures 149 2/8" gross. He has 26" beams and a 20" inside spread. We have over 160 trail cam pics of this deer from velvet to hard horn.
 Thank you John for fine deer lure that helps us to pattern this deer! He actually has been contacted by a sports writter who did a few stories on him when he was winning turkey and deer calling contest. He wants to do a radio and a newspaper story. I have done quit a few radio and newspaper articals with him in the past on turkey and deer hunting.
It's crazy the way some people have made comments about things. I know it is because of the land we have and have gained permission to hunt on. Some people just seem so spiteful.
Today was the first I got near the computer. I had alot of congrats sent and that felt great. Tye has it on his Facebook of course.
The hunting was a blast and Dad and I where chasing a great buck that I got to see twice. It was an awesome archery season.
Darrell passed on 3 bucks in the 120" range. He has gotten some awesome pics as well.
Thank for everything you have done for Tye and I & Good Luck Hunting!!!!

What a way to start out the 2009 Pa Archery season. Congratulations Eric on a fine buck.
This buck was shot on the opening morning of the 2009 Pa Archery season. While using Stonycreek Whitetails Odor-Nuker (Odor Eliminating Spray) Eric was able to harvest this buck 12 yards directly downwind of his stand.
We made another believer on the effectiveness of Stonycreek Whitetails Products!
"Stony,
Here is my son's testimonial of what happened. And thank you for making your buck lure:
“Around 2pm, on November 11, 2008 I headed into the woods with my dad, not knowing what would happen on that fateful day. After an hour in the woods, I decided to stand up in my stand because some squirrels were circling around me and I planned on shooting one. I heard a rustle and looked into the valley below me. I saw the butt of a deer 75 yards away from me. My dad hit the bleat can a few times and it came in and stopped 50 yards. At that time, I realized it was a 4 point buck. Once it stopped, it looked toward his backtrail. I looked with it and saw the brute coming along. I could count the points from 75 yards away and saw that it was a 12 point. They met up 50 yards away from me and stared at each other for awhile . All of a sudden, the 4 point turned around and ran away from the 12 point. I paid more attention to the 4 point leaving than the 12 point and I couldn't see the brute anymore. I started looking and then I saw it making a rub on a medium tree. It spent about 5 minutes making that rub (and boy, it was a big rub when I saw it later).
Then, my dad grunted and used his bleat can one last time. It looked up and started walking toward a cotton ball that my friend George prepared with a couple drops of StonyCreek Buck Lure. This cotton ball was approximately 20 yards from my stand and it was in a good shooting lane. When it was 30 yards away, it stepped behind a large tree. At that moment, I drew back my bow in hopes that it would step toward the StonyCreek lure.
As soon as I started hoping, my wish came true. The buck took a step and I was about to shoot, but it took another step behind some heavy brush. As I waited for it to take another step, it turned his head and stared at me for about a minute. So there I was, my bow drawn back, the deer looking at me, and the strong buck lure scent floating in the air. He then slowly put his head down, took one more step, and next thing I knew there was an arrow stuck in his body. I turned to my dad and saw the excitement in his eyes.
We waited 45 minutes, which seemed like 5, and finally got out of our stands. My dad and I started to look where I shot the buck and suddenly the 4 point that I saw earlier came back looking for the StonyCreek lures we put out. Once it saw us it turned around and left, but I believe the scent brought it back in. We tracked my 12 point for 150 yards that night and then had to stop. We found it the following morning and it was about 300 yards away from were I shot it.
I believe that the StonyCreek Buck Lure was the success to getting my first deer. I will surely buy this lure for many years to come. This is definitely the best buck lure on market today!"
Thank You Stony for taking the time to consider my son's story on your site. I also appreciate your buck lure, it truly is the finest on the market.
Sincerely,
Deermeadows"
John,
The Hunter in this picture is my brother-in-law, his name is Josh Rambo of Hopwood PA. The Buck was shot in Greene County, Pennsylvania on Saturday October 25, 2008 at 1:20 in the afternoon.
Josh used BuckDraw for the First time Friday evening placing several Saturated Cotton Pads in existing scrapes near his hunting location at approximately 5:30 PM on Friday. It rained steady starting at 7:00 PM Friday through 11:45 AM on Saturday.
We headed out to the stands Saturday about 12:15 PM. Josh noticed several new rubs in the area and jumped a different massive buck near his stand. He placed More BuckDraw in the scrapes, and made a mock scrape at 10 ranged yards from his stand with both a BuckDraw soaked cotton pad and a film canister with 3 cotton balls soaked with MaximumDraw in the Center. Ater about 40 minutes on stand the buck emerged from a ticket, trotting nose down and passed the mock scrape. As the buck lost the scent, it stopped, turned on a dime and went straight to the mock scrape - directly to the MaximumDraw. The Mock Scrape was located below some thick brush and the buck only offered a quartering to shot, but at 10 yards the shot was lethal and the buck went less than 80 yards downhill before expiring.
This is Josh's largest buck to date, and should score in the Pope and Young book. I know you have another believer in using Fresh Scent.
By the way on Friday evening, less than 20 minutes after making a mock scrape near some existing scrapes in a nice dropping white oak patch, I was able to elect on passing on 2 different nice 2½ year old 8 points, that offered clean shots as they headed to the mock scrape.
I just wish I'd been able to hunt a little more Saturday. I just got set up when Josh called me to tell me he just shot a nice buck.
Thanks for the scent it defiantly made last weekend great, and hopefully there will be more to come, as I have good trail cam pictures of 3 larger bucks frequenting the area.

2 Pope & Young BUCKS for this Happy Hunter...
Against my better judgment I loaded my gear and decided to brave the rain for an evening hunt on 11-11-2008. My dad had hunted that morning and saw a lot of rut activity so sitting at home just didn't make sense.
I had been using the StonyCreek Dominant Buck Urine to make scrapes for about a month. Every time I would climb down from a hunt I would freshen a scrape or make a new one. After about two weeks of making scrapes my brother and I began to find big trees all over the 62 acre farm that had been SHREDDED by a buck! 
Knowing all of this was taking place, I couldn't let a little rain stop me from hunting. I got to my tree about 4pm and had every intention of dragging a scent line around the area before I climbed. I was feeling a bit rushed and as I scurried up the tree I didn't realize that I forgot the drag!! After I was set up I reached into my pack and broke out the StonyCreek. I pitched 3 capfuls of estrous doe on one side and then 3 capfuls of dominant buck on the other.
My hunt officially started at 4:15pm and at 4:20pm I caught a glimpse of rack!! A shooter buck had stepped out of a thicket behind me and hit a trail that was going to walk him right past my tree. As the deer made his way towards me he would stop and smell. I could only hope that he liked what he was smelling.
Within minutes of first seeing the deer he had made his way to me and was right beneath me. He hit the spot where the estrous doe urine had  landed on a sapling. He began rubbing his antlers and face in the sapling. He stood there for a good minute, licking the scent off the leaves of the sapling, all the while looking right in my direction. I was nervous that he was going to pick me out but he was in a trance! That "hot doe" had him tore up. After licking the sapling clean, he took a step and started to head away from me. With his head facing the other way I got drawn and ready to shoot. The deer took a step to his right and offered me a broadside shot with just a slight quarter. I released my arrow and watched it bury behind his shoulder. The deer bolted and made it 40 yards before stopping. He stared up into the woods as if he had seen something and then began to wobble. He wobbled right, then left and then crashed to the ground.
Second Buck, same season...
My brother and I were drawn for an archery permit at a local military base and our weekend was 10-18 and 10-19-2008. When hunting a military base you don't have the scouting opportunities that you normally do, but a friend of mine was able to point us into the right direction. The morning hunt proved unsuccessful but we weren't about to give up. After lunch we headed to our evening area. I put my stand on the tree and then drug a scent line around the white oaks where sign indicated that the deer had been feeding.
I was tied off and ready to go at 4:30. At 6pm a small 4 pointer made his way to the white oaks. He picked around at the ground, smelled the scent-line and then meandered off into the deeper woods. Not 30 minutes after the 4 pointer left I saw another deer emerge from the  thicket. Immediately I saw antlers and knew he was a shooter buck!! He picked around a small field for a few minutes and then stepped into the woods where I was hunting. He hit the same trail the 4 pointer was on earlier and started making his way into bow range. As he got closer to my shooting lanes he picked up speed and went from a slow walk to a much faster walk. He disappeared behind and tree and I came to full draw. A moment later he hit a shooting lane and I let out a grunt with my mouth. He stopped in the middle of my shooting lane a mere 20 yards away. There was a pretty good wind blowing and the buck couldn't figure out where the grunt came from. With his attention focused straight ahead I hit the release. I watched the white wraps on my arrow disappear behind the deer's right shoulder. He wheeled and ran into the same deep woods that the 4 pointer disappeared into. After he was out of sight I noticed my arrow sticking in the ground right where he stood. I climbed down and inspected the arrow and shooting lane. The arrow was covered in crimson and I immediately found blood 10 yards from where he stood when I shot him. Eighty yards later we recovered my first P&Y buck. He was a darn near perfect 10 pointer. A lot of variables factored into this hunt. Without my friend pointing my in the right direction I would have never had an opportunity at this buck and without Stony Creek, I'm not sure that he would have hit the trail that brought him into bow-range. All things considered, I feel very blessed to have harvested this beautiful animal.
"Hi John.
I wanted to say thanks for such a great product! I've been hunting pretty often since the season opened here in Ohio. However, I have been only seeing does and small bucks in the area. I know there were bigger bucks on this farm, I found two places in the bean field where they have been fighting (probably at night). I knew I needed something to help draw them out during daylight hours, after careful consideration (because I've used) allot of "store bought" lures and have had very little to no success, I ordered a Suredraw Hunter Pack from you.
On the morning of 8-Nov-08 I took the long way to my stand applying a scent trail of Maximum Draw and the Buck Draw through the bean field. Once I reached the area I placed my decoy in the field and placed a q-tip saturated with the Total Draw on it's back. A couple hours later I had three does come running through the woods behind me, I was trying to figure out a shot on the biggest when I heard something in the bean field. A nice 8 point had his nose to the ground on the scent trail coming my way.
Once he seen the decoy he "bristled up" and started to circle it with his nose in the air. There were other deer that had came to the edge of the field and he started stiff legging back and forth in front of the decoy, but not giving me a shot. As the deer started into the field he had his ears laid back, watching them but wouldn't leave. Once again he started "stiff legging" around in a circle, then he made the mistake of stopping broadside next to the decoy. He ran about 50 yards after the shot.
I feel that the Stony Creek Lures played a key role in bringing that buck in that day and giving me a chance for a shot. You will be getting an order from me next year. Thanks again for such a great product.
Tony"
Here you go guys - It was a LONG, STRESSFUL DAY......

Sat Nov 01, 2008 8:22 pm…… These photos are from my mock scrape tonight minutes before I punched this buck at 19 yards. I was 40 yards into the woods in a new set up and grunted him off of the scrape. Chris and I went and searched with good blood but backed out just because he had gone about 100 yards and I was getting nervous. Pass through bright red blood........
I will fill you in on the whole story when I find him. MAN I HATE THIS!!!
Sun Nov 02, 2008 6:15 am.....I am headed out right now. I let him go overnight just because what made me nervous was he bolted at the shot went 30-40 yards, stopped and stood for about 15 seconds then WALKED off over the crest of the hill. Chris and I went to the crest of that hill and still found blood but backed out at that point. Him walking off has me torn up...we'll see
Sun Nov 02, 2008 11:07 am…… I am sitting on log right now looking at the last spot of blood. He has walked about 200-250 yards. No beds and no more blood for the past two hours. I am hanging my head right now in disbelief. He is on a trail so I am going to walk that and hope for more blood. This is not good.
 Sun Nov 02, 2008 6:56 pm… This was a VERY exciting hunt, even more exciting than the 200" buck two years ago. First off I need to thank my friend Steve H for convincing me to move a stand near my mock scrape. I have continually been emailing him images from this scrape and he told me "You better get a stand near that scrape. With that many bucks frequenting it and does using the food plot it is just going to be a matter of time."
I moved a stand into the woods just 40 yards from the mock scrape yesterday at noon. I was in this stand at 4 pm on Saturday afternoon. I had does working off of ridge above me at 5 pm and they made their way to the food plot below me. Shooting light was fading and I glanced over my left shoulder to the mock scrape. There was a deer standing right in the scrape. I grabbed my binos to look if it was one of the does or a buck...."Shooter!"
I immediately grabbed my  Brawler and gave him one deep, elongated grunt. The buck quickly looked in my direction and was stepping into the woods toward the trail to the stand. He stopped to rake a tree and then dropped his nose in the natural scrape located just inside the wood line. This is where I had freshened the scrape and soaked the "drag" I attached to my boot with StonyCreek Buck and doe estrus urine. He also freshened this scrape himself and was looking for the buck that had grunted at him. So I grunted one more time - Now he is coming......
I quickly ranged a tree at 20 yards before he got there. Then when he stepped to this point he was one step inside of the mark. I drew, he stopped, I launched the Snuffer SS and he bolted and crashed up the hill. Like I said earlier he ran 30-40 yards then stopped. I waited for him to stagger or tip over. Instead he stood for 10-15 seconds then walked off out of sight over the ridge. I was getting nervous with the way he walked off, no tail flicking no back hunched.....nothing. I really thought I had missed. I went back to the house and Chris and I grabbed two lights to at least locate the arrow. Chris found the impact sight with hair, blood and the arrow. With the arrow coated in blood and a good amount of blood where he stood for the 10-15 seconds we decided to continue to the top of the ridge where he exited out of sight. Blood started to diminish so we marked the spot with a shirt and exited.
 I continued the search this morning and I was quickly deflated with less and less blood as I worked through the woods. He only left blood every 20-30 yards and it was not much at all. So, from 7:45AM until 11:30AM I had found no more blood and I was grid searching. I covered a LOT of territory and I was very familiar with the trails. I was on my way back up to the last location I had found blood. It was a small trail from a field edge near a ditch. I looked down and there was a nickel sized spot of blood!! This means that he was heading downhill still to the west. So I continued downhill across the field for another 30 minute walk....no more blood.
So I walked back up to where that trail exited that had the last spot of blood, walked to the north and found another small trail that entered a VERY thick patch of scrub brush. I crawled in on this trail no more that 10 yards and located to my left............. There he was....expired in his bed. 
How this deer had gone over 300 yards in beyond me. The shot entered the right side of the chest, smashed through one rib, this may have caused the arrow to change direction ever so slightly. It clipped the right lung, went through the diaphragm, through the liver and exited low and slightly back.
I doubted the shot the whole night and the whole morning. A very exciting hunt and was the utmost of highs, lows and highs. But I learned to stay with it, don't give up because of the emotions of defeat!! I think it really helped to know the terrain and how the deer travel it and he did this and so did my buck in 2006.
Thanks for reading guys....thanks for the support.

The Sweet Smell of Success
by
Mike Ohlmann
Article premiered in the Kentuckiana Chapter of Safari Club International newsletter. Click here to read full story
There is an old saying that "If he roots around enough, every once in a while, even a blind hog gets an acorn,!" Given the validity of this sage old advice, one might deduce that a couple tenacious hunters rooting around various sections of Bernheim Forest for 8 seasons it is reasonable that one or the other would shoot a nice buck?eventually!
However when it finally happened this past season that my hunting partner, Clint Blackburn and I both took exceptional bucks minutes apart on the same ridge, we came to believe that the sweet smell of success might have wafted up from a small bottle of deer scent. MORE-->>
Dear SureDraw Hunting Products,
"I used your products for the first time last year and shot 150" eight point in ILL. I also had a 130" come in and lick my doe decoy the day before. He hung around for 30 minutes.
 I had TotalDraw hanging from my doe decoy in an evening stand on the edge of a cut corn field. He left the doe he was guarding, circled down wind of my decoy and came right in.
The 130" eight point from the night before was a different field and was by himself. He came right to my decoy and circled it from behind, which they always do, he licked the TotalDraw scent pad I had hanging from the decoy. He did this twice and stayed by the decoy for 30 minutes.
Hopefully he is still around and should be a shooter this year.
I have been fortunate to kill some good deer in the last 5 years and tried other company's deer scents with mixed results. But yours have consistently performed when the situation presented itself.
Best regards,
Christopher L. Slike
Carlisle, PA"

Well the Exocet scored its first points last evening...
I did something I told myself I would never to. I bought some $50 deer pee. (StonyCreek) You know the 'fresh stuff'. It was collected from a doe in heat and mailed to me with ice packs. I'd say it was about 2 days from deer to my door. and it was almost $50 for 7oz of pee....not too bad I guess if you consider lotsa stores sell ONE oz bottles for $10
I went out and made a mock scrape near my stand. I put in some doe in heat and a little fresh buck urine.
Near the end of the day 4 deer come out into a wheat field maybe 225 yards away. I pulled out my binoculars...thats a buck...thats a buck...thats a buck...wow theyre all bucks. Which is strange this time of year. They were all pretty small.
Well these 4 bucks are downwind of me and my scrape. They took turns doin some aggressive sparring....testing the wind and feeding. All the while they were steadily moving straight towards me. They did not come running to me....it was more slow and deliberate. But I really think they were coming to that fresh scent. Who knows maybe they would have come to me anyway.
The whole time I was watching them in my binoculars I was thinking to myself that none of them were big enough to shoot.
Well....one of the bigger ones walked into my best shooting lane....20 yards away....and stood there.
My mouth watering with desire to try out the Exocet.... this little buck picked the wrong day walk near me... haha

There will always be nay sayers and I'm no one to anyone here..not a frequent poster to this website or debater of arguments, so I don't blame you for questioning me about my success.
I have hunted for deer for over 30 yrs, though...if that counts for anything?
From mid Oct to the end of Oct, I was definitely scented by one nice buck and very well may have been scented by the dominate buck in the area. He had come within 20 yds of my stand, from down wind, responding to my bleat call, but refused to come out of the corn and slipped away. He sensed or smelled that something was just not right.
I realized if I was going to get a shot at this buck, I needed something to bring him closer.
Breaking a rule I had established for myself some 5 yrs ago when I had concluded that the scents available were not consistent in quality or ingredients, from one bottle to the next...sometimes they worked...sometimes they didn't work. I stopped using all commercial scents and concentrated on my own methods of covering my scent.
 But I needed something to bring that buck closer...I started by doing a Archery Talk search of scents.
That is how I came across this thread and began to digest the information. The StoneyCreek information interested me so I decided I would talk to the fella who posted the information. What John (I think that's his name) said made a lot of hunter sense to me...using a scent directly from the doe or buck and shipped under cooled conditions and kept fresh in your frig until ready to use.
I ordered the scents on Nov 30, they were shipped on the 31st and I received them on afternoon of Nov 1 and used them that evening.
I used the doe pee scent on every hunt..laying down scent trail on my way to my stand. I did doctor a mock scrape I had made near my stand with the doe in estrus scent and the buck scent a couple of times.
My scent trails were through a huge standing cornfield that bordered the woods where my stand was located. I had made a path down one of the wider cornrows and used that one path in and out each time I hunted this stand.
I used this same stand last season to take a large nine point buck at 30 yds of my stand and downwind of me.
The biggest difference between this year and last, the field was standing corn now and not stubble like last season. To get a shot, I had to get the deer closer to the edge of the woods and in the open which was 10-15 yds from my stand.
Where this stand is located, I had to be scent free as the wind swirled and the deer traveled in all directions as one major trail was 30 yds down wind of the prevailing winds for our part of the country. I had been successful with my own homemade methods of covering my scent and was convinced that I could do it again this season.
I had several deer interact with the scent trail I laid down through the cornfield on my way to my stand. I had deer track the scent through the corn to my stand...I had a decent 8 point buck intersect the scent trail 10 yds from my stand and back track it out into the corn.
After laying my scent trails, I hung the drag on a small bush 5 yds from my stand to act as a cover scent.
IMO, the doe pee works great to lay down a scent trail to attract deer and to cover ones scent when entering the stand. It also worked great as a cover scent in the area of my stand. Not once did I have any of the deer that smelled the scent raise their tails, act alarmed or scared in anyway..not one snort.
It's my opinion, the deer acted as if it was just another deer in the area...but a deer they were not familiar with. There was enough interest in the doe pee to get deer to follow the scent. I had bucks, mature does, immature bucks and immature does interact with the scent, and the story was the same for all of them...relaxed, unalarmed when smelling the StoneyCreek scents.
I used the doe in estrus scent and the buck scent in a mock scrape I made near my stand and not one time did a deer spook or raise their tail. I only used the buck scent and doe in estrus scent a couple of times.
I did have a buck hit the mock scrape during the night after I doctored it in the evening and hunted the stand again the next morning. He had pawed the dirt and left his calling card, which was a nice sized hove print.
I did not get a visual view of a bucks response to the Buck and doe in estrus lure so my experience with each is limited. I do know that deer that came into contact or near the smell of each scent did not spook or become alerted at the smell and a buck did respond and freshen the scrape during the night.
I only had one week to use the scents and IMO, they worked for me each time. The more interaction I witnessed the more confident and relaxed I became as a hunter. I became comfortable knowing the deer were not going to spook and would remain relaxed while very close to my stand, even when down wind of me.
On the morning of Nov. 7th, I looked back to the west and there he was, standing a couple of rows into the corn, facing my tree but gazing into the woods..15 yds away...NO SHOT...
I believe he was responding to my bleat and buck grunt calls I had made just minutes before.
Unlike 3 weeks ago, when I called this buck to within 20 yds of my stand on an evening hunt...this time,he was relaxed and within bow range. Where he was standing, the mock scrape was behind the buck and scent trail I laid down coming into my stand that morning was just a few yards in front of the buck.
He moved toward the scent trail, crossing it, stopping to drop his head and smell, but he's quartering toward me...NO SHOT. He again moved, briefly giving me a broadside but not long enough to take the shot. Now he's standing behind some tree limbs and some brush at the edge of the cornfield and nearly down wind of the scent drag I had placed on a bush just a few yards away.
The buck turned around and took a step back toward the scent trail and the drag hanging on the bush. A couple of more steps and he will be in an opening, so I slowly draw, holding for a few seconds, the buck started walking and entered the opening and everything went into automatic.
The buck ran 40 yds stopped, wobbled and dropped over dead...my season was over.
The buck had 9 points on one side and 5 points on the other side with an 18" inside spread...non typical on one side and typical on the other.
Was it the Stoney Creek scents that made a difference or played a part in getting this buck close and relaxed?....I have little doubt in my mind.
Stoney Creek scents worked for me...you might want to give them a try if your in the market for deer scents...sittingbull

I ordered my SureDraw hunters pak on Friday,Oct. 26 and received it on Thursday, Nov. 1. I ordered it to carry with me up to Virginia to finish the archery season on Friday and open the muzzleloader season on Saturday.
This is how my archery hunt turned out. I put the Maximum Draw on my boots to walk in to my stand location. At my stand location, I sprinkled out some Total Draw and Buck Draw to get the scent out as much as I could. The wind was blowing the scent into a bottom. About 30 minutes into the hunt, I noticed a 6 pt. buck coming out of the bottom and heading straight for the path I walked in on. When he hit the path, he put his nose on the ground and started licking the leaves and his nose. He started walking down the path heading straight to me. When he got to the area where the Total Draw and Buck Draw had been put out, he put his tail up in the air and started looking. He then turned right in my tracks and started walking to my tree. I stuck him with my Desert Stryker at less than 5 yds. from the base of the tree I was in. I put the dot right between his left shoulder and spine. The 100 gr. NAP Spitfire did the rest. I heard him crash less than 50 yds away. I was pumped!!!
Saturday morning. Opening day of muzzleloader season. At first light, I put some Maximum Draw on my boots again as I walked into the area I was hunting. About 10 minutes into my hunt, I saw a long spike buck. I let him go hoping to see something bigger. About 20 minutes into my hunt, a nice 8 pt. come running down my tracks with his nostrils flared and licking his nose. He stopped about 30 yds. from me when he ran by where I had made a turn. Perfect broadside shot, he fell in his tracks.
To add to my story, I came back home on Saturday afternoon, but I gave my hunting buddy some of the Maximum Draw and we soaked some Total Draw on a scent wick. Right before dark, his son shot a 4 pt. who came in to the scent wick.
As soon as my hunting buddy's wife e-mails me the pictures of my bucks, I will add them to this post.

I had a great morning I left my home in Oregon yesterday to go to my grandparents' 3500 acre ranch for our annual Oklahoma whitetail hunt.
As I approached my stand this morning, the shape of a deer caught my eye. It was bedded not 50 yards behind my stand..As I lifted my binoculars, I confirmed it was a buck. I quietly unzipped my backpack  and poured out a little Stony Creek Suredraw doe estrus scent. I climbed up to the platform, got an arrow nocked and waited. About 20 minutes went by and I heard footsteps approaching. I looked to my left to see the 3x3 I had seen bedded earlier walking up to my stand from behind. He had a noticable limp, and I knew he was injured. I waited for a good shot oppurtunity. As he turned broadside I drew and released, rushing the shot. At first I thought I missed low, but after finding my arrow, I found I had hit the buck low. He raised his head at the shot and stood his ground. As he began to walk off I grabbed another arrow. At 20 yards he stopped slightly quartering away. "OK Craig," I told myself, "Make this one count." I came to full draw, got my back tension, aimed and followed through. My arrow struck the deer slighty behind the crease of the front leg. I knew he wouldn't go far.
After a 45 minute wait I took up the trail and found him dead 60 yards from where the second arrow struck him! To say I was happy is an understatement!
