RE: rattling,scents, calling
Well, in my experience in the UP, I have tried scents and rattling and this will be the 1st year I use calls too. Last year was the 1st year I used rattling and I had absolutely no success. It seemed to scare them away more then bring them towards me. This is probably due to a little bit higher hunting pressure and as someone else said, the deer usually don't get the opportunnity to mature so they arent as agressive as an older buck and tend to be intimidated by fights rather than enticed. Last month, I bought a Hunter Specialties grunt call and a Lohman fawn call. I still have my rattle bag too. I'll pull out all the stops to bag a deer this year!
