RE: Spot & Stalk Whitetails?
I did a nice little stalk earlier this year around the second week of November before rifle season. I heard two bucks sparring after I was leaving my stand and decided to check it out. I made it across the pasture and could see his rack above the tall weeds looking my direction. I got in a position and started raking the leaves to sound like a buck making a scrape b/c there was a scrape right next to me. He made a wheeze that sounded like somebody trying to blow his nose but it was too blocked with snot. I would grunt at him and he start tearing up saplings. He wheezed at me like 3-4 times trying to challenge me. Two bucks came out of that thick stuff and he began to follow them but just had to see what I was and came right over to the fence and tried to find me but couldn't. He finally went on his way but it was an awesome experience.
