[QUOTE="Twanger, post: 712377, member: 43393"] On another site we were discussing vocalizations to bring in deer. I generally don't like to do anything to call attention to myself, but there's one exception: The grunt stop. I will grunt at a mature buck to stop him in a shooting lane for a shot. Case in point... Saturday I had a young 8 pointer and a more mature 9 pointer face off right under my stand. They were right behind me, facing off after the 8 pointer walked under me at a range of 1 yard. I didn't dare move. I could hear them posturing, clearly more than 1 deer back behind me, but I didn't dare move to look. Eventually the 8 pointer 'blinked' and walked back under my stand and out of sight. I snuck a peak, and the 9 pointer was already up on the hill about 60 yards out. I slowly turned around and waited, hoping for a break. Fortune smiled on me and he turned around and started down the hill. He was walking fast. I eased the Tac15 up. He started to step into a clearing at 35 yards and I grunted. He slammed to a halt in two steps, right in the lane. The arrow was away in about half a second. He ran 60 yards, just out of sight and crashed like a jumbo jet into the creek. The grunt-stop worked again! This was the longest shot I've taken at a deer in a very long time. The flat trajectory of the Tac15 is very forgiving. I estimated him at 40 yards and he was at 35 yards. The arrow hit him just a couple of inches high. No big deal.
