I have been Bow hunting a nice spot out in Suffolk County Long Island. It has no hunting pressure and plenty of does and one little 4 pointer running around making small rubs. I like this spot because it is easy to get into my stand and easy to get to.
My question is this:
There are at least 7 does in the bedding area on any given day. Can I expect some bucks to move in and try to make happy with them once the rut starts?
Also, will rattling be effective in this area as I expect they would be transient bucks coming in? I started 2 scrapes to provide some incentive
