If you are going to get back out Harold ,try Grunting and Rattling that is how I got the one I just posted in this thread ! I had a bunch of small racked bucks out prowling the edges early in the day , in the evening I decided to pull out all the stops as our season is drawing to a close ! I sprayed one of the main scrapes with dominant buck and climbed up in my tree then I got a Estrous lure and sprayed it in the air to let the wind carry it after letting things calm down I made two different sounds of grunts using the same call with different pitch then got out my Large Rattle bag and did a series of rattling with no response I settled in for about twenty minutes and decided again to shake it up and did a second series of grunting and rattling but much more aggressively almost immediately across my six acre field in the tall Golden Rod I could see the antlers bobbing as I had a good Buck honing in on the fight about 60 Yards he stopped and turned to go back and I hit the deepest Grunt I could muster up ,he turned and about three seconds later he was standing broadside to me grunting and looking for a fight ,he got one ! A very exciting hunt ,you should give it a try if you get the chance ,it works !
