Saturday morning...got up at 6, out the door by 7, and at my spot at 7:38, exactly when the sun rose. It's October 22nd, and according to Field and Stream's Rut Intensity Map, the rut is just getting started.
At first, I set up camp about 100 yards from the truck. I was hunting alone on public land, and wanted to get my feet wet before I dove in. I sprayed a little doe in estrus, and put out some estrus bleats now and then. No action though...The more I sat there, the more I thought about that 200lb bruiser I had seen the last time I was in the area. I decided to go all in, and stalk my way deep into this WMA land.
As I made my way down the main path, I occasionally sprayed doe urine on trees along the path. Again, I do this to mask my own scent, as well as to hopefully attract any bucks that are trying to get lucky.
