Successful first morning of hunting.
« on: September 03, 2016, 11:07:07 AM »
Finally got to go and chase some Blacktails this morning and was not disappointed. No dead deer but I rattled a doe and her two fawns in to 15 yards. Had someone told me she was a mule I wouldn't of thought twice about it. Today was my first day of rattling so I would say it was successful. Then I sat and listened to a buck rub a tree but couldn't convince him to show himself. All in all it was a great day!

That's a heck of a rub.  I'd hunt the rest of the season right there if it was me.  A tree stand about 20 - 30 yds. downwind of the prevailing breezes might pay dividends.

Good luck Predator G.

Yah it really is. It looks alot bigger in the picture. There was an old ruling right there too. My dad and brother were a mile away and saw 10 deer, as well as a 500 lb black bear we named "gus" that walked head on up to about 6 yards from them. I think this'll be a good afternoon hunt. I'm satisfied with everything so far considering and did very limited scouting this summer.
