yeah i was going to say use a decoy. i havent seen many of those used but i guess they would spark the curiosity of a buck. like the others said hunt the rut like mid October by then they should be out of their summer patter, i am sure you already know all of this i just wanted to put in my .02 cents. good luck buddy.
