Whitetail Hunting

If you have a pile of buck sign you may set up and wait. He may show up but it is a crap shoot. This time of year they are looking for does in heat. If you do find a scrape with fresh urine and tracks leading away one behaviour is that does in heat will pee at the scrape site then walk through their own urine and walk away leaving a scent trail for the buck to follow.
If you find this and it is fresh careful still hunting as you follow the does tracks can pay off. You don t find that often but it is a great opportunity. Other than that as was said hang around the does and Mr. Dummy might just stroll out. Males of any species have two brains but only enough blood to make one of them function. You know which one it is this time of year.
Good luck

Would have to know the area: right now I spent six days patrolling an area for does and only seen antlers for the first five and a half. There are scrapes, beds, rubs and signs of the bucks, along with physical sighting, of them everywhere. The only signs of does before today were tracks.
It seems to depend on the area as here in Alberta the Mule Deer Bucks are not really chasing does.... at least where I am at.
