Rattling and calling are all the rage these days. These methods can be effective but the trouble is that many bucks have now “been
there done that.” They now want to confirm what they hear so they hang up just out of range looking for the other deer or circle downwind
until they pick up the hunter’s scent. Some try to get around this problem by using decoys. Unfortunately, decoys are bulky, stand
there frozen and unnatural. A better method is to give the deer the confirmation they are looking for by using scents
- First, set up in an area that is not so open that the deer can see there’s no other deer. Then,if your using a buck grunt or rattling,
put out a couple of pads of buck urine and maybe even a couple of pads of REAL DEER.
- If your using an estrus doe bawl, then put out some doe in heat and some REAL DEER. Follow the rules listed under
‘scent placement’ and if the buck circles downwind, it will smell the deer it thinks it hears and will come in.
- Border Crossings Deer Herd In A Stick a CONFIDENCE deer Attractant and Cover Scent that CALMS deer, makes them
feel SAFE and CONFIDENT. So you can line up your shot.
