Rut may not be going on yet. Sometimes it just doesn't work. Other times they'll make a bee-line to you. Have you tried a doe bleat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Welcome to the forums. Might consider some scent and using the can call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davetucker Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Today here in maine is the predicted day for the rut to kick in!!!I am going to burry myself in a hardwood ridge along with a can call for the next two wks!!!Go ahead an try it,i'd also combo in a rattle bag and see what happens!!!The rut is when they are the most challenging!!When they hear both they will think theres more bucks after this doe and want in!!Thats my opinion anyways!!!

jbaker Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Calling I was in stand last Sat. morning and used all three to get a buck in close. It was a cool Indiana morning and I first used the can, the a couple of grunts, then the rattle bag, A nice little 8 pt. came running down a steep ravine behind me into the creekbed 80 yards up wind of me. he stop to look around so I grunted just loud enough for him to hear. he circled around to end up 25 yrds in front of me straight on. After seeing him and knowing there is a bigger buck around I let him walk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 The last tool in my toolbox is a snort wheeze. Sometimes it really turns the deer inside out, sometimes it spooks them off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 The last tool in my toolbox is a snort wheeze. Sometimes it really turns the deer inside out, sometimes it spooks them off. LOL. Usually what I use to get down when I have deer having me stuck in the stand in the afternoons. Snort wheeze here seems to always spook them off.
