    Here is another video encounter we had on Sunday November 2nd with a rutted dup 4×4 in North Dakota. This happened at my buddy Paul’s farm as we were in a stand on the edge of a food Plot. This was not the biggest boy in the woods, but he was definitely a shooter for my wife Stacie. We just never got him to stop within range and in the open. This whole encounter lasted 45 minutes with this 4×4 ripping up the field and woods chasing does and picking on fork bucks. I have an eidted section down to aobut 4 minutes from the closest we got to shooting him. I bleat canned him from across the field and he came a running and tried to get down wind of us. Where out of nowhere a doe and 2 fawns showed up behind us a the right time, giving him a visual and hearing there was deer where the bleat came from. We had him less then 15 yards behind us in the woods down wind where some how we beat his and the 3 does noses in 72 degree heat. I have never been that aggressive calling before as I called to him close to 100 times in the 45 minute span as I was a can bleating fool. He was stopped at around 20 yards and just a few steps from her shooting land as Stacie stood there and I aimed the camera ove rher shoulder with him staring at us right back. He dropped his head and bolted out into the field circling that doe back into the woods and not stopping for a mouth gurnt I laid out. Are you wondering if the Primos Buck Roar or Mad Calls Buck Growl are for real??? Well I’m here to tell you it is, as this buck let out about 25 of them in a 1 hour period. One of the coolest encounters I have ever had and to share the whole thing with my wife in the stand. I apologize as the tree we were in was too big for my camera arm and all footage was free hand as I had a grunt tube and bleat call in the other sitting on a branch, busy trying to get my wife a shot and not paying too much attention to the camera.

    Turn up your volume and watch this video.

    I think I might retire next year as work is getting in the way of hunting.

    Lip Ripper, you must obviously hunt ND for whitetail? I believe that you are a MN resident, what does it take to get a buck license in ND? Do you have to apply in June or July? I would want to rifle and muzzle load hunt and I’m a MN resident. We have 3,000 acres near Oaks ND that we just inherited. We were out there pheasant hunting and there are a few monsters running around the farm. Just wanted to get ready for next year.

    Thanks

    Yes, you need to apply for Rifle and Muzzle Loader. Archery is over the counter and you get a either sex tag with your archery tag. The cost is $215 that gives you your general license and bow tag. For rifle and Muzzle loader I beleive you need to put in by June and it is a lottery. THe odds of getting selected depends on the Zone. Some ar eeasier then others. They usually have left over doe tags in some areas that you can buy “Management” tags for around $55.00. The Oakes area is a great area with many big bucks in that area. I have not hunted the Oakes area for about 5 years now.

    Let me know if yo unee dhelp hunting those big boys!
