This tactic ever work for anybody?

[dj1100rt]

The author of this article believes that this works for bow hunting, primarily. He proposes waiting to retrieve your freshly harvested deer, a short while, so that it might peak the curiosity of any nearby ones. Especially true, he says, with a fallen estruos doe still having the scent to attract bucks.

Anyone ever see anything like this: http://www.wideopenspaces.com/why-you-should-hold-off-on-recovering-a-down-deer/

Not sure about Ohio, but in PA it is illegal to shoot a 2nd deer without tagging the 1st deer. The only exception is the SRA's that are around Pittsburgh and Philly where they want a bunch of deer killed.

Yep, you’d have to temporarily tag it and get back in the stand....

Correct, and that’s something that has changed recently.

I've seen an 18 month old buck try to breed a dead doe. She hadn't been laying there more than 2 minutes. I watched the button buck fawn of same doe try for 15 minutes to nudge her back onto her feet. was awful hard to watch as I have always had real reverence for the killing I've done. I think I'll go retrieve my dead deer as soon as possible. I appreciate good venison too much to not take care of it as quickly as possible in favor of using it for bait. I'm not on board with this tactic. it smacks of the whole whack em' and stack em' mentality that I just don't care for.

I'd be too jacked up to let my fresh kill sit there. But, I thought it was interesting that someone tossed that idea around.

Welcome by the way! Glad to have ya around these parts.

Not a fan of that tactic. I did see Grant woods use it this season on a rifle hunt in Missouri. I'm on one specific mission when I go out, either I'm going for a buck or a doe.

As others have said. Not something I would do. I hunt for many reasons, killing multiple deer in one sit just isn't a priority of mine. If it is legally done I wouldn't knock someone for doing it just not something I would do.

I typically use my entire quiver of arrows on the first deer! lol, In all seriousness, if this was legal I wouldn't try this, in Early November I am giving every doe a free pass, a hunter never knows what watching a 100 yards in the thick!

Same here, I don't shoot does with fawns anymore because of that.
