RE: When to start w/Estrus bleat
Rangeball has it right. However, there is no "scientific" evidence that does make an estrus-doe-bleat when they are in heat. And this has been thoroughly researched.
The call being referred to as an estrus-bleat is similar to the Social Contact Grunt described by Marchinton, which is louder and longer than most other grunts. I'm not saying this call won't work. And this is a good case showing that it will, but not for the reason stated.
When bucks are looking for does, they will respond to anything that might lead them to a doe, whether she is in estrus or not, he won't know until he can "check" her.
I'm not going to discuss this one. I just thought I'd throw it out there. Do what you want with it.
Do you know why bucks act so "stupid" during pead breeding?
If you guys only got it for 2-3 months every year, you'd act stupid and go for all you could get too!!! And don't tell me otherwise.
