Rattling for bucks

The biggens that are left are smart.....that sounds exciting...like a big 'ol buck possibly.

The second rut should start kicking in before long. You guys may already start getting a second cycle on missed does by now...

 

hold the phone!!! what were you drinkin while working on his vehicles??? Maybe your buddy let one fly at the perfect moment,( uuurrrrpppp!!!! )as to fool you.......lol

 

.....nah....but he did step in a big ol' pile of dog poo on the way to the lower stand..........it was right in front of my mom's trailer!!!

 

ahhhhhhaaaa.....uncanny cover scent......tell him he'll never outdo your homebrew coverscent!!!

 

man...it was funny as hell. after we came back outta the woods...he was telling me how he was doing his best to not get sick from the smell while he was on stand!!!

 

Well at least both you guys are still in the running. Hate to say it but my hunting is complete for this year. Guess now I need to wait until March when the longbeards are in strut.

 

after a couple longbeard stories today, I can feel the fever brewing....

 

You bet on the longbeards.
Have a few bridges to cross before that if you know what I mean.

 

hey guys..read a few pages, and thought about something new...Never tried ratteling or anything..Just put some corn on the ground and hope for the best. Ive hunted almost every possible day from dec.1, and i have not seen one deer. Its getting very agrivating

 

here in my county in south carolina..............corn/baiting is illegal. i got in trouble fr it earlier this season. those fines they give out here aint little either.

 

corn is 100% legal here. Problem is, everyone and there mother does it.

 

there are alot of places here that are legal to bait....wish they'd make it legal in my county......everyone does it anyway.

you may need to try a grunt call or can call and see if you get any deer to show up. you start hitting the grunts and can..............you are bound to get a buck or doe interested enough to come and try to find the source of said grunt.

 

thats true, but the only thing im afraid of, is that in NJ you might as well hunt on the next guys lap. If i start grunting and ratteling, gaurenteed there will be someone comming to look, also.

 

damn..............ya'll are that close to others??? i dont think i could deal with that. where i hunt,usually........there isnt anyone else hunting for 300 or 400 yards.

here is an idea................pick a nasty weather day.....like rain or sleet, to go to the woods. it may deter others from heading out....and you may be in for a surprise........................cause deer will move in shitty weather.

 

I never did figure out that tree stand hunting. If you don't see any deer, I move. Of course in NV the next hunter is 1-20 MILES away. Keep the faith Jersey, they'll come. Can you bait with anything or just corn? Try apples?

 

Man that would stink, having hunters all over you when hunting. Here it is a BIG no-no to bait.

I did a test one time (was not hunting) and used Ca-mere deer (spelling). For a few days I drop the hard stuff on the ground by med sized stump. They seemed to hit it in the evening. With just does during the early morning. Then I used the liquid, and placed it on limbs up a little higher and away from the first spot. When they went to the limbs, I added a little powder on the ground.
Next thing all's I did was spray my boots and spray my back-pac, sort of like a cover scent. With the time that went by, around a week. I was seeing deer (bucks and does) in the area (45 yards and closer) until around 11:45 am, later on cool days.

I did this just to see what was going on with them, I had pretty much had the deer in the area patterned, travel routes, escape routes, bedding and such. You can train a deer even in the wild, hoosiertaco can vouch for that.

Hopefully things will work out and you nail one, may take awhile but sooner or later, they will show.

 

its also a scary thought of gun clubs driving where your sittng. 30-40 guys with guns shooting at each other, with you in the middle

 

so i went out and bought 3 different grunts, a rattle bag and some code blue buck urine. Ill be damned if i dont see a deer now. I may be broke, but ill see one.

 

be easy with the grunts man................if you grunt with them too often.....you'll likely scare deer off, especially a wary old buck. use them in sequence, and spread the time use out! good luck....................hope you bag a big un'!!

 

yea, im sitting here watching the simpsons trying out different grunts, and rattles with the bag..These things sounds amazingly close to a deer. Im actually suprised.
