Stalked a couple of deer the other day and it took over 30 minutes to get out of the boat. Was 3 feet away from the doe and was going to poke her but thought I would get a hoof in the face. Check us out!

Riley B. Cooper of Oklahoma City, Okla. wrote: "Re: the BBZ – excellent article. The idea of the fish coming to the lure instead of the usual lure to the fish makes sense. I think this happens with some other types of baits, especially rattling baits. It would be interesting to know if the effect of water displacement from a large swimbait has as much "sound" as a smaller rattlebait.
