When bowhunting in early fall, it's a good feeling to put some meat in the freezer and take some of the pressure out of the hunt. It's much easier to hold out for a nice buck when there are venison steaks in the freezer.
Take advantage of the whitetail's natural social groupings at the beginning of the season. Does are still with their young-of-the-year, and bucks are elsewhere in their bachelor groups. To lure a doe into bow range, try a fawn bleat. Almost any doe will respond to a bleat call, either out of curiosity or the maternal instinct.
Many clubs and lease groups need to do a better job of harvesting does anyway, so why not use the tools that allow you to do just that?
