First time pointers
About a month out from whitetail bow opener in Wisconsin and I’m ready looking forward to finally having time to bow hunt this year. I’m not new to Wisconsin whitetail as I’ve been gun hunting for over 25 years. Our firearms season fall the week of thanksgiving so well after the run. This brings me to my question. Any pointers for a first time pre rut and rut hunter? When do you start rattling or calling? Playing with scents? Decoys? I’m assuming the first few weeks of the season are just sit and wait but honestly not finding a whole lot of info on hunting pre rut, might just be looking in the wrong places.
