Chaos has its place. Hell, I’ve made a firebreathing Rock-N-Roll career out of unleashing a relentless piledriving soundtrack of defiant hellraising dance music and animal breeding sonic bombast for over 60 years and my crazy, sexy music couldn’t possibly be created any other way.
I wouldn’t change a thing.
But when it comes to pure, wild animal madness, even your ever-loving MotorCity Madman mystical flight of the arrow addicted guitarslammer can’t hold a candle to the insanity of THE RUT!
Let us all genuflect at the altar of stinky, skanky, nasty, nostril flaring, eyeball watering, black, beautifully gooey tarsal gland putridity and snort it deep into our lungs like we mean it, thanking God Almighty by the hour for such glorious, exciting sensual stimuli in the November deerwoods of North America!
Sure, we cannot wait for September and October to roll around each year to once again celebrate our natural reasoning predator tooth, fang and claw ballet, but maximum bang for our conservation buck has no equal than the maniac month of November.
Scrapes showed up everywhere by the last week of October, but the real action just exploded as November gets going, and I for one become giddy for every morning and afternoon hunt on my sacred deergrounds in Michigan.
In pretty much every state in the nation, November is it!
And though we are programmed from birth to dedicate our hunting time to those traditional, etched in stone early morning and late afternoon hours, everybody with but a modicum of deerhunting experience will tell you that midday holds even more promise for big buck encounters during this killer month.
I have had some of my most thrilling deer killing moments hunting over mock scrapes that I either have kept going for years or even ones I created only hours before the big boy showed up.
Retired New Jersey firefighter Steve Ciasullo is a full-time, bucklure-creating mad scientist that has come up with a super killer witches brew of incredible mojo voodoo deer attracting concoctions that have blown my mind and the minds of many dedicated buck killers across America this season.
His Signal11lures.com lure producing outfit has a doe in heat lure, a rutting buck lure and an amazing curiosity scent that has brought about many a backstrap dreams for thousands of us.
I love them so much that I have actually proudly put my name on these three killer scents to the extreme satisfaction of many a 2020 buck killer already this fall.
I have no idea how he does it, but when you scrape a patch of bare ground at 7am and kill a big buck snorting it and pawing it at 8am, you have certainly got this bowhunter’s attention!
More and more deerhunters have figured out the magic of mock scrape hunting, and there is no question that November is the scrape hunters dream month.
I do have a designated heavy rake that I mostly use to clear a card-table size patch of bare earth under an overhanging branch about four to five feet off the ground. Then I merely spray or drip some of Steve’s Signal11lures stink down the branch onto the opening and get ready for some action.
I cannot tell you how many times I have had bucks and does move in on these freshly created mock scrapes within a very short period of time and hang out working them and presenting shot after shot.
I have personally experienced and received many a testimony from very happy hunters that are amazed at how these scents draw in deer from straight down wind as if there is no human stink in the area.
One buddy of mine had a notoriously spooky bobcat come to my Ted Nugent Gonzo Curiosity Juice and stick around the whole morning trying to figure out what it was smelling.
Now that is the ultimate tests of a scent lure the way I see it.
Steve is a gung-ho deerhunting nutjob like the rest of us, and was in fact a hero at Ground Zero on that fateful morning of 9-11 in Manhattan, NYC.
Now he conjures up these deerhunting witches’ brews of lures to make all his fellow deerhunting nuts very, very happy and successful.
If ever there was the ultimate window to put our tag on a good buck, it is during the November rutting period when the bucks are on their feet more than ever, and their guard is temporarily compromised due the urge to procreate.
Oh what an urge it is!
Get out there all you can. Get creative with mock scrapes and deerlure use. Celebrate November like you mean it, for after all, November only comes once a year and we better take full advantage of its magic.
Get with Steve at Signal11lures.com and get in the stinky, fun game of November buck killin’.
