az_shooter Report post Posted January 12, 2013 Hunting coues deer with a bow is always a challenge whether you're doing a spot and stock or sitting in a blind or stand. I'm fairly new to bow hunting but have been rifle hunting for years, so I thought I would post this topic and see what I can get. Has anyone ever had really good luck or can swear up and down by the use of scents or calls while bow hunting for coues? I have gotten the attention of bucks before by rattling but its only happened once, so I thought it would be fun to hear some of your guys tactics and things you like to do that you would be willing to share.

azslim Report post Posted January 12, 2013 The coues buck call by Modern Call Products works, I have the best luck when the o-ring is between the B & U on the reed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHALE Report post Posted January 12, 2013 I had a whitetail come by this year within 30 seconds of rattling but would never break cover. It just made a half circle around my stand at 60-80 yrds never letting me see if it was a buck or doe. The buck I shot was pushing a doe by my stand after I had rattled 30 minutes prior, so dont know if they were around due to rattling or not. I have rattled and had does run full sprint to my tree.

EagleEye Report post Posted January 12, 2013 Scents have not worked for me at all I have tried at least 4-5 different doe and mock scrape type scents and left them within view of my cam and not even had a deer investigate the smell. I also took a leak out of my treestand into the snow 25 minutes before I shot the buck in the picture. My 2 cents on scents. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
