Are there any signs that the rut is approaching in your area? I would tend to think that using those tactics too early may shun deer away...at least the more mature bucks. Maybe I am giving the deer a little more credit than deserved but something like that, too early may not seem right to them and keep them away.
Others, am I wrong?
I don't think so.
He could start off with regular Doe P,(non estrous) and see what happens.
Regular P (non estrous) will draw them up to.
