Personally, I dont think any Whitetail tactics would work with any regularlity.....Rattling / grunting- may work out of courisity, not out of aggression as a whitetail may take it.....scents- would mask odors more than anything.....patterning mulies- is rarely successful but, in a perfect world ie private land without any hunting pressure, you would have a better chance....I stick with what works for me, homework, scouting, glassing, glassing and oh yeah homework! Good luck! Let us know how it goes!
