Deer Calls and scents


Recommended Posts

I am heading out on dec. 11th to bow hunt for a couple of weeks in wisconsin(first time in 14 years)And I have been practicing alot. My question is. Do doe's respond to any calling such as The Lil Doe bleat cans, or a bag of wood sticks. Also is there certian scents that work for both bucks and doe's? I am very excited and want to optimize my chances for either a doe or a buck! I am still debating on wether or not to use bait. I know this is a touchy subject. If I choose to use bait, What are some favorites for deer?

Rattling that time of the year usually doesnt work to well.. Sometimes you can catch the deer on the second rut and maybebring in a buck.. A fawn distress bleet can bring in a doe at times. Not sure of a scent that woudl bring both in.

As for bait, easiest would probably be corn. Make sure you follow the directions to the T in the WI reg book, the fine is quite steep.

steep isn't the word for it. It's like $500.00-$600.00. Thats why I am debating on baiting or not. I think I am going to use 1 1/2 gallons of corn. The law is 2 but better to be on the safe side. I hear a lot of whinning in minnesota about baiting. And there fine is only $150.00. If they want to controll baiting increase the fine. to $1000.00 and take all the hunting equipment from the person. Bet that would bring baiting to a hault in MN. grin.gif
