dbHunterNY Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 not far away here in NY.....seeing mock scrapes pulling them in (for now). a small amount of grunting works. bleats hit and miss but will work if the buck isn't harassing live warm doe bodies. don't rattle much here at all so not sure about that. chasing phase of the rut is starting up i think. seeing little bucks out running like crazy but any time now as doe get closer to coming in should see big ones out running them.

WStreblo Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 ohio I live in Jefferson county and Sunday I arrowed a decent buck (never recovered due to pouring rain washing out blood trail...) and he was hot on a doe. She showed typical estrous behavior. I think it's just now starting to kick off after seeing what I've seen and talking to my friends on Facebook. With this weather being the way it is at the moment it makes for a painful all day sit and today the wind started swirling so I got out of there early. I have had good luck using code blue buck urine on a drag making a loop out in front of my stand at 20 yds and hanging doe estrous scent wicks. I throw a few doe bleats out on their own and grunts sometimes putting them both together. I'm hunting right on the edge of a doe bedding area in a heavy travelled piece of the woods. So far I've had a lot of deer activity and that helps makin the all day sit possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshuaWilliamson Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 ohio Rattling works very well in southwest Ohio so far but I prefer the grunting and minimum on the bleats.... I use dream team scent blocker and basic doe in heat buck bombs and golden estrus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
