RE: Time for So Dak hunters to speak up.
Im up in Aberdeen, and its been pretty slow for me so far. They havent yet got the corn out around the property i hunt so i havent even seen very many. I did go out sunday evening and put my ground blind down along a good scrape. i sat there for a while and the tried to rattle a little bit and see if anything would happen. about 2 minutes after i rattled the first time, i heard a buck banging his antlers in the trees. I waited a while and rattled again, same thing sounded like he didnt even move from where he was. tried one more time about 30 minutes before dark, and this time didnt hear anything. it finally got to dark to hunt so i walked out, and sure enough that big buck was still standing right where i had been hearing him all night. i crouched down and tried not to scare him but he took off. other than that havent really seen much. hopin to get out this weeknend again will keep u posted
