RE: what extra tactics are you using now?
I've started doing a bit more grunting. I'll pull out the rattle bag next week and use it when the weather is cooler. I stopped using estrous urine years ago when the owner of the pro shop pointed out that real deer are spreading large amounts of the fresh stuff all over the woods so there is no reason for them to come specifically to the small amount we put out. I've never seen the "pro's using it in videos either. I've done just as well without it.
