What to do
« on: October 31, 2013, 09:52:24 PM »
I'll start off with a little introduction . I just sort of jumped on here as a new member and never introduced myself  . I've done a lot of stalking but not a lot of posting and I do LOVE the sarcasm on here . I  started hunting at 12 with my father , went to archery at 16 , my dad switch over when I was 20. When I was 23 I shot my first elk only to have some one else beat me to the animal and tag it , 3 weeks later my hunting partner/ father died of a heart attack . :'( I walked away from hunting and chased nothing but steelhead for the next 25 years. Three years ago I got back into archery and brought along a new partner , my wife . Last year I tagged my first deer in 25 years , shot a doe . This year I drew the Kitsap Quality archery buck tag . Nov. 1 - 13 . What to do ? I figure this is going to be a rut tag and I have areas that I have scouted . I'm going to carry a rattle bag , doe can , grunt tube and a fawn bleat . If you guys had this tag how would you hunt it? Call , spot and stalk , just sit and watch and then make a move . I'm taking vacation so I will be there Nov. 2 - Nov. 11, sun up to sun down , the first 2 days my wife will be tagging along so still hunting is probably out , just to much noise with 2 people together . Thanks

First, enjoy the time with the ol lady.

Then drag a scent wick and kill a big buck!

Good luck!

Still hunting can be done with two people. I have had people with me on three of the deer I have harvested. Just get a little space between the two of you and move slow like a couple of deer would when they are feeding. You'd be surprised at how well this can work at times!

find the area with alot of fresh sign.  then sit and wait.  bucks in the rut get stupid.

If you have a good spot already and are bow hunting I would invest in a tree stand.  :twocents:  Rifle would be a different story.  Good luck.  If you need a hand PM me.  I don't have any really good stand spots picked out, but have been hunting some clearcuts out there that are holding deer and would be a good place to start looking for a good stand location.
