What to do...

[coffmanbr1]

So I have been hunting a scrape and rub line hard and finally the last three hunts I have seen the buck and even called him out of his "living room" with an Estrus Bleat. Since he is not a shooter should I move on or should I stick around and see if other bucks work the area? I'm new to this going in after the bucks here in East Texas. Not sure how territorial they are out here.

It was fun as hell to go after a specific deer and succeed in finding him. Way more addicting than feeder hunting.

You may want to stick around. Lots of different bucks use the same scrape. Put a trail cam out and see what's coming in.

This. The buck you saw is not the only buck checking those scrapes. Some are probably even wind checking them without actually visiting the scrape. When hunting scrapes, bedding areas, or even feeders, always watch the down wind side when bucks are cruising. They can almost trot by and know what's there. But be careful, or the smell they get may be YOU !

Been putting doe pee on me so they can't bust me. Lol
