Whitetail Deer HuntingGain a better understanding of the World's most popular big game animal and the techniques that will help you become a better deer hunter.
this past weekend i was bow hunting and I had seen 4 different bucks and 2 of them were very nice. The rut is really starting to pickup in my area and what would be the best way for me to get the bucks to gome closer? Grunts, bleats, sent, rattle'n? I need some ideas.
Bleats during the rut. Try "The Can" is great will seduce those bucks into range. But depending on the buck grunts and rattlin will work if he's a small buck sometimes big grunts will scare him off because he's scared of getting his butt kicked by a bigger buck.
Go with some doe bleats, cause they will really get him curious. With grunting, just be passive. Try some soft contact grunts, dont over do cause manlaw is right, you may spook him off.
You could use some "tending adoe" grunts as well. If the larger dominantbucks are nearby and aren't tending a doe themselves they will check you out to see who's "getting some" in THIER territory.
