I don’t have my finger on the pulse like many of you so I’m wondering if next gun season might have 2nd rut activity. Should rattling horns and a doe bleat be in my plan for these days in central IL? Thanks. Best of luck to us all.
Don't expect too much from the "2nd rut" unless your buck/ doe ratio is really outta whack. Rattling I'd leave alone.
I personally do not have any luck when it comes to rattling and or calls. I have more luck with scents.
Let your stand location work for you this time of year. Use the call if you see one and the opportunity is lost. They might come back in. Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
