How to get their attention when not in rut?
Hey folks,
Looking this up elsewhere as well, but wanted to ask here too. I'm going to be out for deer and elk during 2nd rifle season in Colorado (Oct 19th - 27th).
From the sounds of it, elk rut will definitely be over, and the mule deer rut takes place around 2nd week of November.
I'm going to be doing a bit of still hunting, and hunting from a ground blind where my cams picked up some activity. Aside from paying attention to the wind, being quiet and silent, are there things (legal) I can do to draw the animals in?
Do the different deer and elk urine and tarsus scents attract them outside of the rut? What effect if any do bugles and grunts do outside of mating season?
Thanks in advance for any info or experiences you have with this.
