Hey I wanted your guys opinion on something. Last weekend I was hunting a stand that I just hung the day before. The stand is on a fenceline between timber and a big crp field. At about 7:30 i seen two does behind me in the timber and they moved out into a hayfield about 20 yards away. At 8am I decided I was goin to blow on my grunt call and see if there was any buck in the area. I blew on the call once and a big buck jumped up from his bed in the crp about 450 yrds out. I blew again and he came in running. He got to about 30 yards and I drew back my bow because he was behind a brush pile. He walked to about 25 yards and was behind a tree so I had no shot. I noticed a doe out of the corner of my eye coming in from the other side so I looked over at her for a split second at her and when I looked back the buck was gone. I was just wondering what this buck could have done. I know he couldnt have ran away cause I would have seen him. So I was wondering what would be the best thing to try and get him back into bow range. I was also thinking about pheasant hunting the crp. I know this buck beds in here so should i hold off on the pheasant hunting? What are your guys opinions?
