    First time connecting with a called deer!

    I ve hunted for a few years and had deer interested in my bleats, grunts and rattles, but I could never get one to commit... until today. Hiked 10 min off the road into a new area; I had driven by it plenty of times but today it was too juicy to pass up. There was no rub, few tracks, and not much going on but I was there so why not sit a while. I gave a couple real seductive doe calls through my trusty duck call and sat for 10 minutes. I gave one more slightly less desperate bleat, and proceeded to slowly pick my way over to a better look out. I have also learned that when calling like that it can be a good idea to move a few yards off of where the call was made. Sure enough as I was creeping over to the shooting spot a little 2 point strolled right into view on his way to where the calls came from. Not being one to waste an opportunity I shouldered the old 99 and and let him have it.

    Feeling pretty good about my first reg 2 limit, and having the first one come to my duck call/doe call.

    Congrats, hoping to do the same tomorrow. Thanks for the tips about moving away from the call area.

    .300 Savage loaded with 150g Nosler ballistic tips. I haven't even taken my 30-06 out of the locker this season which used to be my go to. The 99 is such a great gun and thanks to dabber for sending me this one after my original was stolen. I did a full resto on it; reblued the barrel and tuned up the woodwork with some linseed oil. It has been the good luck charm this year for sure.
