[QUOTE="HELLGAP, post: 462866, member: 29826"] Here is the story on passing the 200 non typical . I had never taken anyone to my spot until this year I know there are always big bucks with in the one small area about 8000 acres the other area is 20k plus so its pretty much a given there are big deer in the area. The last time I was draw for this area I had 12 big bucks in one spot with the smallest being 160 plus. With harsh winters its pretty hard on the old bucks and having hundreds of wolf size coyotes doesnt help either. The day before this years season My son and I went for a drive and we drove up to 100 yards from this big boy well my son tried a sneak but was busted at 80 yards so the next day we went for a walk and spot the big boy on the prowl . We layed down in the bald prarie all camo out and scented up and I began grunting with a whisper grunt and called ythe buck from 175 yards to 40 yards before my binoculars spooked him when I went to have a close up look lol . I had my gun in hand that day as well and then the next day found him again bedded down 125 yards up wind . My son is a recon corporal in the army so he is sneaky.
