Default RE: I learned a new tactic for the Rut this year

Along that line, from mid-Dec on, I will place (a basketball -sized) bunch of honeysuckle along a field edge or even the deep woods to hold does for a shot. I handle it with latex gloves &carry/store itin a garbage bag (spritz water on it). Works like a charm - I've had does spot it and go 40 yds out of their way to check it out. Baiting is allowed in my state, but I rationalize the honeysuckle as a lure - I often pick it up and use it the next day. I learned the trick many years ago when I used some honeysuckle to help disguise a motion camera - started getting a lot of "very close" deer in the headlights pics, lol.
