    I have used the whitetail doe in rut and have had limited success with it. I have had bucks walk in behind me while I was glassing due them cutting my trail. The bucks were not big but they did react to the smell.

    One year a buddy of mine stepped away from where we were glassing to take care of some paperwork if you know what I mean. He heard something behind him and looked under the tree to see deer legs. He tried to get to his rifle and move around the tree and the deer moved 180 away from him like playing cat and mouse. Finally the small buck decided that he had enouph and took off. We hunted in the general area and picked the buck up again following our trail. Unfortently he was not the buck we were looking for.

    I was using the doe in rut when I shot my buck On December 26th 0f 2009. The sun was in my eyes so I had to wait to shoot, the deer seen me but did not react, although I was up wind the deer did not seem to care of my presence. So when the sun was low enouph I let the air out of him.

     

    My 2 cents

    A Cochise County hunting guide and his daughter, along with several hunting dogs who usually hunt mountain lions as a hobby told an Arizona Daily Star reporter that they treed a rare jaguar, last Saturday, in a canyon south of Interstate 10.

    Donnie Fenn, 32, and his daughter told the reporter, “It’s the most amazing thing that’s ever happened to me.” “I was nervous, scared, everything. That was an experience I’ll never forget. It was just the aggressiveness – the power it had, the snarling. It wasn’t a snarl like a lion. It was a roar. I’ve never heard anything like it,” said Fenn.

    They first spotted the jaguar atop a mesquite tree from about 200 yards away. Then, after Fenn left to call Game and Fish officials to seek advice on handling the situation, the jaguar left that tree and raced away, with Fenn’s hounds in pursuit.

    Eventually, the dogs caught up to and surrounded the jaguar, who clawed some of them and caused some puncture wounds as he tried to get away, Fenn said.

    Apparently, the jaguar was able to escape the hounds.

    It was the first confirmed jaguar sighting in the U.S. since the death of Macho B in March 2009.
