[QUOTE="East TN Bowhunter, post: 5770941, member: 8795"] I found success last year and this year in East TN by doing a passive approach during the rut. Getting in an hour before daylight, attaching my seat to climber that is already in tree, sitting 20ft or more up in tree in my climber, no calling or rattling, and waiting on a buck to push a doe past me. I feel during the rut/muzzleloader/gun season there are so many people moving around/coming in late/calling way too much or not sounding right when they do call, therefore, the best thing to do is don't move and don't make noise and they will be come by eventually. It takes patience and commitment, but I have killed 2 good East TN bucks 2 years in a row doing this. I also play the wind and thermals and try to keep my clothes and body scent free by washing clothes in scent killer detergent and using H.S. soap and shampoo. When I was a teenager I killed a few younger bucks on public by still hunting but I believe I have better success especially during the rut, on bigger, older bucks by being passive and letting does and other people bring them to my area.
