Stop running Whitetail deer
Use a Whitetail grunt call to momentarily stop a spooked or running Whitetail deer. The whitetail deer, 9 times out of 10, will stop to look back and think another buck/doe spooked him.
But get ready for a quick shot because he won’t stay still for long and will probably continue running after pausing for 3-5 seconds. Use your grunt call with maximum volume, 2 to 3 times, then track the deer in your scope and get ready for a shot when he stops.
Rattling Whitetail Deer
Grinding your rattling antlers together with lots of force is not a good idea because it is not natural. A good technique is to simply touch them together with little force.
Think about it, Whitetail deer only fight for short periods of time, so rattling too long or with too much force could end up spooking deer instead of attracting them to you – try it next time and I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
Capture your Scent
Lets assume you are in your tree stand or blind and you need to go to the toilet – what do you do? Always carry an empty bottle with a lid. Use the bottle to catch your scented liquid, then seal it up tight.
Never let your urine scent soak into the ground (especially in prime deer locations). Whitetail deer, like most animals, have superb sense of smell and if they smell you scent, you’ll never see deer pass your stand/blind or even come into the immediate area.
