bringing deer in from across a field
this year i encountered many deer across a field (100-300 yards most of the time) im planting a food plot next year so there will be a lot more deer in the field. i thoughht maybe a decoy would work but how can i bring them across the fields?

Why not set up a trail camera, do some preseason scouting, and set up a little closer to the deer.

find a good place to lay down or get a bipod, if u are using a rifle, and you wont need to get them across the field lol

If it is during the rut, make a trail with scent within 30 yards of your stand (don't have them walking in a direct line to you). A call can also work great on bucks and does.

Decoys will definitely work during the rut, otherwise they won't pay much mind. A food plot will help. I don't know all the circumstances... I.E... someone elses property on the other side, bad wind onthe other side, but I would scout and try to figure out what's keeping them over there. Then try to make it better on your side.

ah the good old "bleat can" yes primos makes it so does HS
when working the rut i love M.A.D. Growl works great |
RE: bringing deer in from across a field
What are you hunting with? Take your rifle, start shooting, and shoot them at that range! If your bow hunting or just want them closer, try "the can" also use scents!

Seems like an ideal situation to set up a ground blind.

M. A.D. Growler works great during all phases of the rut. If you are shooting with a rifle, you shouldn't need to get them that close. If with a shotgun or a bow,I'd try a decoy or the "can". Food plots work well too. This is the great part of hunting. Finding out where to hunt and what works.Good luck with whatever you decide.

i have the H.S. version of the can calls. would the big big can be my best bet for across fields?

RE: bringing deer in from across a field
As long as you have little wind the deer should be able to pick up on the noise depending on the distance of course. If I remember correctly, my lil can could go as far as 200-300 yards, but I where I hunt there are little to no trees to block any noise or create a diversion. I haven't personally used the big can, but you could give it a try, but if you have a lil can, try it first, if it doesn't work then go and get the bigger one. That way you aren't spending money that you don't have too.
