Try a grunt call and try rattling them in, scents work as well . Find a good trail with good sign and be prepared to sit and wait them out.

Good luck

Post by: walt on November 13, 2008, 11:30:27 PM: Yeah, 30 seconds-ish then sit still. Wait 15 mins to an hour then repeat or move is what has worked for me. The first was a small 3pt about 15 mins after daybreak. He just appeared behind a tree about 40 yards in front of me. Then a forkie came up the skidder road from my left about 3 mins later. The last was another forkie about 2 p.m. a few miles away. All 3 on public land somewhere between Spokane and Colville. I passed on all three but next week it'll be any buck.
