How to Hunt the Rut, Rattling, Glassing

[snareman1234]

This year I would like to try my luck at a 4pt, up to this point I have only hunted "bucks" season


So my question is how do you guys go about approaching the 4pt season. I like to hike, and get into bush with open meadows,

I have a pair of rattling antlers I made, and I have a grunt tube
anyone use these?

how about scents? like tinks 69 or other do urine type scent.

Thanks

Give it all a try.
I like Tinks 69 myself and have had some success with it.
Rattling does work, AT THE RIGHT TIME.
I rely on my voice as a grunt call. Ive not had alot of luck with the grunt tubes. They can freeze up.

Get yourself a doe bleat call. such as a Primos estrus bleat call. works good on these blacktails. use your rattle antlers to scrape trees, rip up brush etc. most importantly, conceal yourself and watch the wind...

grunting worked great

I went for a hike yeterday. I found a cool pair of sheds lying together in a pile. I thought that was pretty lucky to find them lying together like that, and they were really palmated (looked more like a moose). Anyways, I picked them up, and within 50m I spooked up a descent 4X5 muley. He was leaving fast so I grabbed the antlers and started rattling them. That stopped him. About 1 minute later I started scraping a small Pine with the sheds I had just picked up. Over the next 10 minutes, I scraped the Pine tree once in a while. He came in from about 250m to about 50m. It is the first time I have used antlers on a Mule Deer. I don't claim to know much about it, but it sure seemed to work this time. He's now hanging in my shed. Happy times!!!
