91. Hunt-How bucks react to a fresh doe tarsal drag

[@joeodonnell9776]

Love that we are able to hear the buck grunt. I have always struggled with figuring out what a grunt call sounds like in the field.

[@johneberhart4062]

Those were very soft grunts, almost like tending grunts. Searching grunts are much louder and a tiny bit longer. I have an EO video on calls and it's a ways back and I show using an inhale and an exhale grunt with the proper length and volume for calling. Calling using a soft grunt like this buck did, wouldn't carry very far.

excellent video, thanks !

[@garrettpope9693]

great video

[@scottpomygalski6078]

when you cut it, doesnt the attracted deer also smell the flesh and skin of the tarsal flesh??

[@tlngnckr11]

I haven’t seen your little circular sight before. How long you been using that? I recently got an EZV due to way too blurry pins. I’m liking it so far. Have you tried one and or what are your thoughts? What age did you get prescription glasses? I should do that but I’m afraid they’ll fog up at the worst moment! lol

[@marillahills91]

I do the exact same thing with doe and buck tarsals also save the piss been doing for many years

Great video as usual.

When are you heading to Kansas this year? I assume you will take us along with your video series?

[@donaldbowling8620]

Rattled in my biggest buck ever this year. 11/8 7:30 am. I used your advice of rattle early or late next to standing corn. 25 yard shot. He came in fast and looking for a fight. Hit him back qtring away. Gave him 6 hours. Dead in his first bed. 152 3/4 green gross. Ty sir. 👊🏻👍🏻🦌Kalamazoo Mich.

That is absolutely awesome! Congratulations.

Hey Don, can you send me a picture and short story of that buck and I will post it on some pages?????

As always great information John

[@gfalk3972]

Great info! Going to add this to my tactics! Thanks again John!

[@travisethridge4062]

do you freeze? use more than once?

[@johneberhart4062]

Imfreeze when they are just taken off and once i get them out to use, I use them several times before trashing them depending on the weather.

[@ryanjoseph2345]

John, can you get a camera that doesn’t make noises for zooming in and out?

[@johneberhart4062]

Interestingly, I can't hear that noise when I'm filming and neither can the deer. It must be a slight internal noise that's right next to the mic.

[@ryanjoseph2345]

@@johneberhart4062 I appreciate you bringing us your videos. Do you watch Behind The Bow or DIY Sportsman? They have some great cameras. Hope you get to Minnesota one of the years, I think you would do really well!

Good vid,never thought of using the gland of doe

[@johneberhart4062]

During the rut, they work best if you can get one with a strong odor

[@underdogoutdoors]

Great timing for this, thanks. I save the tarsals, vacuum seal, but been afraid to try.- Andy

[@johneberhart4062]

They work great, especially the doe ones. Rancid buck tarsals are totally different and can spook does that are not in heat and can intimidate and spook smaller bucks. I only use buck tarsals when pursuing a specific mature buck.

[@BeastGrifters]

Great video.

[@johneberhart4062]

Thanks

[@scottshillbillyhoneybees1179]

Great videos John. Only commercial scent I use is a preorbital gland scent on a licking branch over a mock scrape. I’m definitely going to try this one. I used the preorbital gland scent on the buck I sent you in a email in WV. I’m getting around writing that story for you hard to sit down with work, Christmas and hunting lol.

[@johneberhart4062]

Take your time and I will post it when I get it. I use preorbital on licking branches as well from Smokey.

[@bradbaillargeon3248]

John that was very cool great video. What are you using to drag it with?

[@caseyhepler2806]

Deer butcher shop tarsal heaven

[@jimgallagher4939]

why sparing lee? the first time I tried that was in 1987 , did you ever have a bad experience doing that ? I use tarcill gland hair or tarcill glands every time I hunt, the only time it does not work is when the deer fallows it the wrong way to the truck,

[@johneberhart4062]

Yes I have when using a buck tarsal. With pungent buck tarsals, if does that are not close to, or in heat smell it they will spook because they want nothing to do with rutting bucks. They also intimidate young bucks. I've never had a bad issue with a doe tarsal though.

[@nevrslo1556]

I like hearing them grunt and I have yet to find a grunt call that comes close to the real thing , I've got a few of em and they ain't even close

[@johneberhart4062]

I have one and made a call video and it is in it.

[@Louisiana8critter_getter]

Watched videos where guys say all deer grunt the same that’s a load of shit too lol I hear all types of grunting

[@johneberhart4062]

@@Louisiana8critter_getter There are no families of animals where they all sound the same, none.

[@danhoff4401]

Good stuff

[@charlesleblanc6638]

That worked like a charm ... How long can you keep them, do you refreeze them ?

[@johneberhart4062]

I replied to Brady Oates up above on the same question.

[@bradyoates1094]

How many uses do you get out of each gland? Does it depends on what you're dragging it through/how far?

[@johneberhart4062]

Primarily depends on the weather, when it's 40 degrees or below, and you keep it in a ZipLok when not in use, you can get several days out of it. When it's warm out, you need to keep them in ZipLoks and keep in a small cooler with ice or in a refrigerator when not in use and you can get several days out of them. You can get them off fresh road kills as well.

[@mossyhornhunter7022]

The deer won't come near you unless you dress up in pure carbon and have all your Fauci jabs .

[@bendrixbailey1430]

a Scent Control skeptic? why bother dude.

[@mr.skeptical3071]

I used to do drags, but I think it does more harm than good, because your spreading your scent around and your foot spore is all over the place

[@bendrixbailey1430]

Guess you were not able to figure out that John was walking over the earth with that drag. Duh? Somehow it worked for him…. Perhaps you should watch a few of his videos on how to control your scent…
