Heading back out in a little bit. I called both bucks in with the rattling bag and can call. One was a big 7 point that had some mass and very long G2's, but there wasn't much else about his rack that brought my heart rate up. He had a really big body. I think he may have been 2 1/2 perhaps 3 1/2 yo. 
I had him at 10 yards milling about trying to find the deer that were making all the racket. He looked straight up at me twice, but continued to mill around for 5 minutes more giving me several opportunities. I even came to full draw once, but let down. Second buck was 45 minutes later and came to my second rattling sequence. He looked to be a very nice little 1 1/2 yo 8 point. Spindly rack, but very symmetrical. I hope he can make it a couple years. He was circling me to get downwind when I saw him. I tipped the can over twice and he came to me on a string. I had several 15 yard shot opportunities, but let him walk. They are on their feet at least. I think I'm doing everything right, I just haven't seen enough antler to release an arrow yet.
