davetucker Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Was trying to step it up a little and was thinking of starting some grunts or bleets!! It has been seasonably warm here and i really haven't seen any rut activity!!!I was wondering how or if i could hit the horns with a grunt or bleet!!What have you all experienced best for calling combo's if any combo at all?

Texan_Til_I_Die Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 I have the best results in pre-rut by lightly rattling. A grunt will work sometimes if the deer is close, but I can't get them to come in from any distance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texan_Til_I_Die Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 I've never called in a buck with the can, but does and fawns seem to like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 I've never called in a buck with the can, but does and fawns seem to like it. Same here Dave, mixed results with bleet calls. Have had pretty good results here with grunting in the pre rut. I get a little more aggressive with grunting as it gets closer to the rut. If I get a chance to get out with the ml this weekend, I will be doing some calling down by the river where I know bucks will be cruising, granted the wind is right for me to hunt that stand.

wadeocu Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 While hunting in southwest Tennessee last Sunday (11/8) I rattled, grunted and bleated in some spike bucks. Saw the first one 100 yds away in the field. I was hunting 20 yds inside a wooded draw. He turned away and headed over the hill. I rattled a bit, grunted and then hit the can. He was coming into my draw - 180 degree turn in direction from when I last saw him - about five minutes later. He came into me within 10 yds of the stand and we locked eyes for a minute. He headed out of the woods a bit uneasy but not spooked. At that moment I saw another deer walking the tree line in the field headed our way from the opposite direction that this buck had appeared. The spike turned and headed to the other deer and they started sparing. That's when I realized they were both spike bucks. They turned and headed through the field away from me and over the hill. Just before they disappeared from view I rattled again and they stopped and turned to look. I grunted three times and they took a few steps to me. I hit the bleat can and they both started trotting back to me and into the woods, this time about twenty yards in front of me. They hung out for about ten minutes looking for the party before they trotted back out and over the hill again. This encounter lasted about forty minutes and there is no doubt that they responded to all three calls. I'm in the south and, by my observations and understanding, the rut will not really crank up here for another three weeks or so. - Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
