RE: The trouble with scents & calls!!
Rattling and grunting is my favorite tactic to use to increase my odds, There is nothing like the feeling you get when you either see a buck that is out of range and there is no chance he is going to come within bow range and you coax him to change his mind and he turns and heads right for your stand only to stop once again just out of bow range and then either coaxing him to continue into range or have him turn and decide to walk away ( regardless off the final outcome its very exciting). Or when Im blind calling and all the sudden the silence is broken and a furious buck is rushing in to see who the imposter is. To date I have harvested 7 bucks that I consider shooter' s from calling and Im positive i wouldnt have harvested any of those 7 if i didnt take my grunt tube or horns into the woods with me. Pike
