I get to go out tomorrow and need some advice. I am going to Stafford king gorge area and I not sure if the buck are still on the rut or if they are starting to bed down with their does. I had planed to but out some doe in estrous (code Blue) and a little doe p bomb for cover sent. now is it still a good time to rattle or should I just try to grunt and doe bleat to call them in? still using xbow so I got to get them close like 30yds close. thanks for your help.

I also hunt mostly in stafford and king george, you're gonna see alot of people running dogs. So i hope your area doesn't get run over. I've seen some of the deer still chasing, but this week its def starting to wind down. I would suggest putting out the estrous, I've never had luck with rattling, but others on here i know have had luck. I would still go where the does are.

good luck!

I dont know if you could have done anything today. I was out in that area today and saw nothing. to many DAM dogs. dont get me wrong I love dogs hell my dogs get the garage with the wood stove that I keep going just for them.

Now I dont want to start a war with the dog guys but in my area they think they own it. Its 1980 anymore and your 4th cousin dont live here anymore so running your dogs though property that is not yours is just bullsh!t

Sorry I got to stop here.
