Need new tactics to draw 'em in

[Jaeger]

I don't know if it is due to last years brutal winter or the relatively new antler restrictions, but all our trail cams are getting is an uncharacteristically small sampling of does this year and not a single buck (highly unusual) to date.  

 

The coyotes are also a mainstay in our pics.

 

We've heard reports of bucks a valley over or so.

 

We (4 of us) hunt a small amount of our landlords private land (270 acres) with uncooperative citidiots in the seasonal camp (100 acres) next to us.

 

So.....Does anyone have any thought on us using a lot of well spaced artificial scrapes/doe estrus scents (much more than normal) to attempt to pull some bucks into our hunting property?

 

I usually wouldn't overdue it, but for this single season we feel something extra is needed to pull 'em in.

 

Any thoughts?

Get rid of coyotes..

If the bucks get locked down it might be a waste of money. Once they find a hot doe they aren't leaving her... Just my two cents

Ask you self this, you have women where you are. And you see a silouette of a nice figure across the street but to get to it you must cross the street filled with pit vipers, I bet that you stay where you are... nothing will help if predators are exceptional numerous , get rid of yotes and if habitat is good deer will move back in.

Where the girls are, the boys will be. How long has your cameras been up? don't judge by just a month or so...

What are the does doinig? feeding? moving from beds to feed areas? pieces of the puzzle.

I certainly agree that if you are getting a lot of coyote shots, something is wrong...maybe a den nearby?

You need to get that doe on your property.

How hot is the woman and what is she offering me, then I'll let you know if I'm willing to cross the street.
