Hope the picture works. Went to my ground blind this a.m. and after 3 1/2 hours of hunting I got up to scout a little seeing I wont be back hunting there for 4 or 5 days. I found this rub and some deer droppings next to it. I know the deer are coming in at night and our nocturnal. I live in FL and have heard stories of grunting and rattling don't work down here. What are your ideas to try to get him to want to move in during shooting hours. You think rattling might work? Or is there something else you would try.
Drag rag with die in estrous scent. Then hang a scent wafer
It seems the rut is beginning start about now in many areas. If this is true in your area, 4-5 days from now would be great.
If me, I would just slip in quietly and carefully and be there all day since the boys can show up anytime (especially if the ladies are walking around)
Just remember the deer do not know the rules

Hunt it hard and keep at it. You won't be able to pattern him now if rut is in. Hunt a lot and try to get lucky
