muskrat Report post Posted August 7, 2004 I rarely see mention of buck urine, estrous scents, rattling, grunt calls, etc. I'd be interested in knowing peoples' thoughts on this stuff. A secondary question - if you're in an area that has both mulies and Coues - will grunts, urine, etc. that is meant for WT scare off (or attract) mulies, and vice versa? Thanks!

TREESTANDMAN Report post Posted August 7, 2004 Muskrat, I have used estrus scents, grunt tubes, and deer bleats. I think that a lot of people don't use them because it is hard to cold call them in. If you actually see a buck and use a grunt tube/bleat, it may or may not decide to investigate. Most hunters will try stalking it having it unaware of human presence than trying a grunt and having it run off because it was intimidated etc. I personally love calling animals and will continue to use these devices. I have experienced some sucess w/ estrus beads this last december and I have called a doe in w/ a doe bleet to about 10 yds away. My cousin grunts in big bucks every year from his treestand although I don't know exactly how he does it. I know Josh Epperson has rattled them in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
