Late season and calls

RE: Late season and calls
I depend more on the curiosity value of soft contact grunts combined with non-estrous urine drags or mock scrapes. Food scents such as vanilla , apple cider , or persimmon can also be deadly now that the mast and ag crops are fewer . I've never found rattling to be very productive this late , it seems to spook them since they've gone through a rut and need to conserve energy for the Winter. Focus on known mast and water sources .

Get better optics and glass first next time . Look twice , shoot once . It works . No , don't quit bow hunting , you could have done the same thing with any weapon . If you kept both deer you're poaching in my book , you broke the law regardless of how , take your medicine and learn from it. If not learn from it anyway .

Kevin what are you talking about? I think maybe you posted on the wrong thread.

but back to the origional post. most of the time you should focus on food sources and travel corridors between bedding areas and those food sources. generally the corridors are easier for a bowhunter to hunt than a big field.
