Hello collective, going to try and make one last run up to Region 3 for the closing of the deer season on Dec 10th.
Am set to try a Hail Mary and do some things I've not tried before.
With my Primary focus being on the 4 or 5 WT bucks that I know are hanging out within 5km of the cabin - with 2 big nocturnal bucks.
This is what I'm contemplating . . .
1) Acuired some rattling horns
2) Picked up a Primos Bottleneck deer call
3) Dragging along my Primos can Estrus Doe Bleats
4) Have doe Estrus scent as well
So my thought is to pretty much stage a deer �� P-tay in the woods using all 3 and see if any one wants to crash it. ;)
Not even sure they are still in the rut, but figured I might as well try something.
Question: I have a tree stand in the thick private land woods near a mineral lick. It gets some random visits from the bucks, but has more does on the camera at it. Do I rattle and party down there? OR go to a couple of other spots I've seen bucks that has a more open and higher vantage point that would allow the dance party sounds to carry further?
Note: After watching a few real life deer fight videos, realized I heard this in the distance from the tree stand a few weeks ago. Just was not sure what it was at the time.
Any comments are appreciated.
I'm also betting $$$ that I'll see a bull moose now that my leh expired! :(
Cheers, VFX
