our rifle season starts next monday, if I get the camera, I'd make the drive up to put it in place this week.

As for the calls, I'm curious about them, but don't want to go out making all kinds of noise that I shouldn't be, or not using correctly. I'm just curious about the use of rattling during rut....from what I read it's more affective in pre rut, and more hit-n-miss during rut ???

I plan on hanging a scent wick, and maybe throwing some very limited blind calls out throughout the day....later on in the week, I may pull out my brother's old bow-hunting target deer, and play around with the calls and scents, just to try and learn a little bit about it all. If I don't get anything, I won't be dissapointed, I'm just looking forward to getting out there, and learning some more.
