Buck , Like coldbeer said you can not perdict the rut . but when the bucks start chaseing the does it is on like donkey kong. you will start seeing more agressive rubs . so early season i will not use a cover scent ill use scent free like a base layer or hs scents spray. cause i feel if you use a cover scent early season it would be just plain doe urin no estrus . if you use a fox urine i think deer do not like to be around a fox because a fox is a predator. the best thing i thought would work good is squirrle urine because they are in the woods all the time . lol
end of october thru nov. ill use doe in heat by code blue and the tarsal gland by code blue use these 2 things and i tell you what it will happen. because a dominant buck in the area will not tollerate another buck playing with his women lol . be like you comeing home and smelling mens colonge and its not yours . well you get the picture . well i hope this sheds some light on your hunting. Good luck in the field !
Ohio season opens sat. Sweeeet.
well put coldbeer i think we might think alike lol .... Good Luck in the field Bro!!
ours starts sat. cant wait .
Hi buck, I think I can field some of those questions for you. It sounds like your doing the right thing about not checking your feed place all the time. In my opinion the less human scent present the better. Acorn Rage is a deer attractant I have never personally used it but if Predator says it works then it probably does. He’s a real expert around here. The pellet style feeder he’s talking about is a feeder that can dispense corn/pellets. The pellets he’s useing is probably the same stuff I put in my feeders. It’s more nutricious for them than corn and once they find it they seem to come in more regularly than that of corn.
ok, now the deer scent question is in a totaly different ball game. I break down scents into 3 categories: 1. Food scent 2. Curiosity scent and 3. sex scent. 1. Food scent - This is something that will apeal to the deer in the way of food when they smell it they think {mmm... that smells delicious} and they come in and investigate. 2. Curiosity scent is when the deer has never smelt anything like this before and gets curious as to what it is and wants to see for themselves. 3. sex scents are pointed to the deer’s need to reproduce. These cover your deer piss and estrous. {these scents are very effective on bucks however they have to be used in the correct time. This early in the season is not the correct time for them.}
I hope this answers some of your questions.
