Pre-rut is a crucial time for deer hunters, as bucks are actively seeking does to mate. During this period, using the right call can significantly increase your chances of success. But with so many different calls on the market, it can be tough to know which one is best for big bucks during pre-rut.
The most effective call for big bucks during pre-rut is one that mimics the sound of a doe in estrus. These calls are designed to trigger the buck’s natural curiosity and breeding instincts, drawing him in for a closer look. Doe bleats and estrus bleats are commonly used variations that effectively imitate the vocalizations of receptive does.
