Thanks Thomas--it's been a busy weekend, I finally go to get a little hunting in.

I actually had an encounter with a "slow walker" this morning; bells and whistles started going off in my head from what Uncle Barry had told me earlier in the week!  It's nice to have guys like him around to figure out the tough stuff

Barry, you mention the wheeze call a couple of times.  I've only witnessed bucks do it a couple times. How do you make the call?  Do you do it with your mouth or do you have a manufactured call that you use.  A short how-to video with tips on when and how to use it would be great! Hint. Hint.

WOW! What a season to remember!  Beautiful buck Barry! No reason for despair, you did great as usual!  You'll get your late season tag and be able to finish up the year hunting Hurley. I'm still putting my money on you. The "slow walker" concept is very interesting, and it makes perfect sense when you think about it.  6 or 7 years ago, I saw a huge buck do something I thought was very interesting.  My buddy Tom Alford and I were doing a push (with bows) along through a small narrow piece of timber in southern Illinois. On the first push, nothing came through.  We went to breakfast, and after eating were driving past the piece of woods we had just pushed when we saw 3 bucks, one of which was huge, quartering upwind and then enter the patch we just pushed.  After seeing this we decided to give it another go.  It was a 3 man drive, and it went perfectly.  Tom and I were the posters, and another buddy was the pusher.  The guy that was the pusher was great, because he always went very slowly, and was able to get the deer to move toward us without being in a panick.  Anyway, the pusher entered the woods from the upwind side about a half hour after Tom and I were in position.  What I witnessed after this was amazing.  All 3 bucks made their way too us, oblivious to the fact that we were there.  The pusher was weaving side to side through the stip of woods and was probably 300 yards away when I noticed that the biggest buck was also moving side to side, keeping tabs on him through the wind.  He was cool as a cucumber, and my guess is that he would score in the 180's as a non-typical.  Anyway, as the pusher got near, the big one realized it was time to get out of there, and took the lead to exit the woods with the two smaller ones following. My buddy Tom shot the second biggest buck but the big one crossed a picked corn field into the next patch of woods.  I thought it was fascinating the way he kept track of exactly where the pusher was by using his nose.  You gotta love whitetails!
