I go quite in early bow and late modern gun, and rattle and grunt in BP season, usually the peak of the rut here.

Now, when you get like me, and can do all three at exactly the same time, your sucess rate will go way up!


Timing is everything when using this "trifecta" of techniques.. If it is not near perfect timing that fart could very well turn into a "shart", if you know what I mean.


It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Rifle season in KS is in Dec, long after the rut. I keep a grunt call in my stand, and practice the short, quick, grunt to stop a buck if necessary, but I have never used it.

A few years back, I went deer hunting with my son on our farm. He walked to the honey hole and I set up my folding chair next to some big hay bales about 20yds from the truck. I'm sitting on my chair, with my rifle leaning on a hay bale, and my big coffee cup resting on my knee, in all of my orange glory. A doe with her fawn slipped up on me before I knew it. I sat there frozen for about 20 min with her looking straight at me from as close as 20'. She paced back and forth, just watching me, and finally just walked off with the fawn. Something that I will never forget. Life is good.

Still hunting has always been the most productive for me. I have seen 90% of my deer while still hunting.

That's all I've done, though I have to confess, I'm still trying to learn this whitetail hunting thing. It's a bit different from moose & caribou hunting. laugh

Hunting red deer in their roar (rut)is great fun. If you can get high on a ridge line and let out a good roar you often get a great response.
There's been times when I've had deer roaring back at me from two ridges across.
Sometimes you get one silently sneak in to check you out, other times it's like you have a fire breathing dragon on a string and all you have to do is keep playing the tune till he's standing on top of you.

Sika are even more fun, they'll fight anything so a halfway decent imitation of their squeal/roar can get them in fight mode instantly. They'll often charge straight in on you.

the biggest mistakes people make is:
1/ Over doing it, don't go roaring every two minutes. Best thing to do is go listen to a few stags on a farm to see how they do it.
2/ Don't try to sound like the biggest baddest deer ever bred. In a life and death fight would you rather fight a heavy weight boxer or some weedy nerd? Most sane people would choose the nerd, deer aren't stupid.

Can't tell you how many blacktails have come running to the bleat. I've rattled deer in and grunted them in.

Worry about the nose, not the noise.

I worry about cover above everything else.


Hell, Friday I'm smoking a cigarette and a bear tried to climb my stand(well, he had his hand on the 3rd rung sniffing the steps) and later that evening had a bigger bear come within 12 yrds at a different spot after I just had another cigarette.
