Nothing like two jacklegs walking around in the woods messing up everyone’s hunt rattling and grunting like they’re going to see something. Walking all around my buddy and through his set up. He said something but they couldn’t see him. Then later he screamed at them lol! Nothing but a squirrel and some crows so far here.

Reminds me of one day last year. Was geared up and getting ready to head in when a truck pulled up next to me to park. 3 folks inside smoking with the windows up, they get out and all three of them had rattling antlers and grunt tubes. Asked them which way they were heading, then went the opposite direction. Still heard them talking (loudly) on their way in and back out two hours later. Was about to line up a shot on a doe when their exit noise spooked her. Just called it a day after that. The challenges of public hunting...
Grunts are vocalization. Deer grunt and bleat year round.
Oh ok. Always thought rattling and grunting was a rut thing. Welp, learn something new everyday.
Dose suck though people being obnoxiously rude in the deer woods though. Ive used a grunt tube, and rattle bag a few times. But Ill blow 3 4 times in a row, or rattle the bag like 10 15 seconds. Then I stop for 30 45 minutes before I try again. Cant say Ive had much luck with it neither, so probably used it 3 times or so and Im done with it for the day
I watched a video not long ago (I think it was Dave bartylla) he said on these very high pressure deer it’s better to not go full fight rattling, but rather just do a sparring sequence like you would early season. That’s my plan this season just a bit of light tickles and see what happens.
Been sitting all day today. Probably tomorrow and Thursday and Friday as well. Got busted early this morning about 8am while I was setting up my camera. Haven’t seen nor heard anything since then. I’m starving though lol forgot to pack a snack this morning.
