Andrew that is all over the board for me. Sometimes good, sometimes nothing. I usually just tickle them together.
I grunt call and snort wheeze for about 30s then rattle for about a min. Some days it works like yesterday and other days like 2day it didn't. The way I see it is I have nothing to loose
I've never had any luck rattling. Grunting is the only thing I've had success with. But if I were to try it again, like others suggested I would tickle the antlers more so than be aggressive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
If the deer realized how lucky they'd be if they responded to my call they might come to it more often......
Finding a spot on the maps to hunt the public land next week is not easy... I have 2 spots on two different public lands I'm for sure going to hunt. but this place is so damn hilly I don't even know where to start lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Start at the top. It is easier to walk down the hill instead of up. Yep, I'm having one of "my" days. I know, I know. Everyone like a little a$$ but no one likes a smarta$$.
Well hope to get out this next weekend.. there's rain in the forcast and I fighting a cold I got last weekend... this cold is kicking my ***... this cold is why I passed up a doe last weekend.. I wasn't feeling up to gutting and dragging a deer...lol. unless he was a good buck... so sorry guys.. I had 4 at 20 yards and had them in my sights. Just too sick to deal with the hassle.. hopefully this next weekend
Well after 2day I will have 4 full day hunts and 4 am hunts left before rifle season opens. So plenty of sits, just wish the weather would cool down.
What public are you planning on hunting? My families land is really close to tar hollow and THAT son of a gun has some steep ravines and hollows. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Hey man we understand! Hope you get to feeling better so when you do kill that monster, you can enjoy it! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I'll be hunting salt fork state park and senecaville lake next week Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Well no points for the team tonight but I did kill my first turkey with a bow. Have killed them with a shotgun before but never any luck bowhunting so I'm pretty excited about that.
Congrats dude! Something I have not done with a bow yet that I'd love to do Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
That is awesome! I believe I've killed 3 with a bow. Not to mention I've shot about 4 dozen arrows at them dang things over my time bow hunting. Imagine the broadheads I would've saved.
Hang in there. We're not going anywhere. Get better then get after it! It's starting to heat up a little around here! I don't blame ya a bit for waiting. That would be miserable dragging a deer feeling like that.
