I did 4 sets and 6.5 miles yesterday with only a coyote responding.  Could not find a single scrape or rub any where.  Checked all the places I normally find scrapes and rub lines, bedding areas, feeding areas and nothing. Saw 3 doe’s all day.  I think this area has just seen way too many people all year long( horse back riders by the dozens every weekend) I’ve never seen so little deer sign here before.  Seen tons of turkey though.  Going to check out a new area today.

Rattled two small bucks in at first light today. A 4x4 and little 3x3. Both pushing does. And got both in under 80 yards. Pretty fun.

Never done it.  Gonna try it in 105 in a few days.

Had a great night.  Rattled in my first buck. Could hear him coming for 150 yards or more.
Came in hard charging and left just as fast!  Never got a shot or a good look at him.  Just happened to hit my wind before I could see him. ....... I’m hooked!!

I love it when you can hear them coming from far off! But don't expect that. The next one may take 30 minutes to peak through a gap in the trees.

Rattled in two bucks this morning.  Didn't have any sheds, so I tried clacking two hardwood dowels together.  Varnished dowels were really loud, and the bucks responded.  Used a grunt call.  The big one was a nice 5x5, and came to 50 yards before he spotted me.  I wasn't in a blind or camo, just out hiking.  Wish I had a late tag!

Gonna give it a try in the morning. Super excited.

Rattled in a buck with my 3 year old sitting next to me. Shot him...what more could I ask for?

Nice, Mr. Mykiss!

I rattled in a large spike buck to 25 yards last night. Almost took him... But decided to err on the side of mercy for the young...

    I may go 3 or 4 days in a row without a response. But then......

For me it helped having a partner.  Guy I’m teaching to hunt is really good at rustling brush and snapping branches and stomping about.  So I put it to good use and run the calls and antlers.  I’ve done 4 stands solo this year and one stand with him which is the stand we called in the buck.  Maybe bring a kid along or a just a kid at heart.
