10 pointer wouldn't respond

[elliotte]

yYesterday-----I am hunting in Northern Ohio and took half day from work. Got in the stand by 1:30 and walked up on a little 6 pointer as I went in. I put out Doc's doe in heat sent and waited. About an hour befor dark I heard something coming, about 80 yards I saw a heavy 10 pointer. I grunted 3 times and and he didn't look my way. I then grunted a gain 3 more times ...nothing. There was no wind so I know he could hear my grunts. He vanished into the wood and I then rattled...nothing. What did I do wrong?????????:confused: :confused:

Nothing, Thats Why It's Called Hunting And Not Killing:)

That's just hunting....keep after him and good luck.

deer are funny that way. Tommorow he may trip over himself to come to the same stuff.

Yep, that's just the way it goes sometimes. I've had good bucks just a bit out of range and try to get them in with a variety of calls, only to be completely ignored. Then again, I've had them come running into range. I think sometimes they just have their mind made up to do something else and they don't care what else is going on.

Yep, that is the fun of it. I had little bucks ignoring all day yesterday and then I saw a big 8 pointer, grunted twice at him, and he came running in. Unfortunately, he came to the wrong side of my tree and I couldn't get turned around to get a shot at him. I couldn't believe that he didn't know that he was supposed to come to the left side of the tree, not the right :)

Try a doe bleat as opposed to the buck noises. May be that he is looking for love and not for a fight.

Didn't do anything wrong, thats just the nature of the beast. You could have thrown every call in the book at him and still might have had the same results.

Try a doe bleat like smashdn suggested.
