I guess I got my answer. I assume nobody here has actually tried this. A lot of hunters here use the doe bleats during the actual rut, but not during pre-rut. I have seen this tactic mentioned from time to time by outdoor writers, and was wondering if anybody employed it. I've had 3 encounters with mature bucks running their scrape lines, but the only one I had a shot opportunity on I chose to pass on him. I wonder if I had a doe bleat if the outcome on the other two might have been different. Anyway, I am going to give it a try this year before the rut kicks in, when bucks first start running scrape lines.
