You guys think it's still a little too early to be ticklin the tines? Havent been out in two weeks. Waiting on a cold front to come through. Going in the morning. Yeah the arse kickin competitions are still a little out, but didnt know it you thought it might hurt to do a little light 'sparring'. I feel like such a newb asking this, but Ive never rattled, have seen more bucks than does (I think b/c theyre smarter than I and the little fellers are stewpid) this year. Have seen 7 different bucks on the 60ac I hunt. Or should I just hold off and keep quit for another couple weeks.
I'd say give it a try. I was talking to a guy earlier this week, and he said he had one come in to some rattling. It's 2nd hand information so take it for what it's worth. I've seen some young bucks already trying to chase does (ran her right out of my shooting lane) and this morning on the way to work I saw two bucks cross the road in front of my subdivision. They were either spooked, or one was chasing the other one because they were moving with a purpose.
The buck/doe ratio on the 33 acres i hunt here is pretty good, id say about 40/60. I have seen 6 bucks on the property so far. Because of this, i tried rattling the other day (3 times now). First time I rattle 3 bucks came right in, 2nd time I had a big buck come in but never w/ in my range, 3rd time nothing...I would say they are definately intrigued though...time to give it a try
? for you NC hunters
