I was disappointed with the deer activity where I was today. Bumped a couple singles in brush too heavy to see them. Did a few rattling sets and the first one yielded my typical “success” (an unidentified deer bouncing away that I didn’t see before or after it leapt away).
I have decent results rattling deer to my vicinity but I’ve never seen one of them well enough to see if it’s a buck, let alone kill it.
Sometimes I wonder if I’m doing more harm than good because while they come towards me, they are extremely alert/cautious. Maybe I’m just bringing the dinks so far and one day a bruiser will come crashing in.
