Hey all,
I'm looking for some advice on calling, rattling and all around tips for hunting November in the north Okanagan. Spent the last month scouting out a spot near King Edward lake. Found a great spot, tons of fresh sign, deer tracks, moose scat. I was out there at last light yesterday and had a mule doe and two fawns run up within 30 yards of me coming from a ridge down to some thickets where there's a ton of tracks I've been eyeing up. I've only ever really had good success hunting wide open sage brush and spotting muleys from a few k off and stalking in on them so this is all new to me. Its up around 1400m, few inches of snow in the ground, sparse timbered area leading down to draws with streams and a little bit of marshy areas with logging roads around. This spot is about a 20 min walk in off the road and not much human pressure from what I can tell from my scouting, in this particular spot.
I've never called, or rattled before so looking for general advice of this is the time of year to try it? What calls to get, what to stay away from. Heading out for the weekend and would love to try for a buck or spike fork if we get real lucky. Crunchy snow so still hunting is pretty much out, going to have to sit and look/listen.
