Hunting with hocks

[batoncolle]

Did the bucks come from the area you were hunting? I got hocks from Paulding County and will be using them in Wilkinson County this weekend.

Bucks cruise all over during the rut. The one I shot last year was the first time I had ever seen him, and he was cruising through headed in the direction of another buck chasing a doe that my neighbor texted me he saw as he was leaving for work. I thought it was a larger 10 I was after, and I didn't realize it was a different one until I got to him on the ground.

I used to save them. Nothing is ever 100%but the more tricks up your sleeve the better the odds. Cant hurt

Be sure to microwave them. All kidding aside good luck this weekend.

Best way to use them is to put them on a plate uncovered and microwave them on high for 3 minutes then put them in your pocket. Once you get to your hunting spot remove them and hang from a branch

That’s gotta smell delicious in the kitchen!

Many years ago I wiped the hocks on a pretty nice buck my dad had just killed with a cloth. Put it in a ziplock bag and dragged and hung it out the next morning. It drew in a little 6 pointer that hung around for a while. He eventually lost interest and left. That's my only experience with them. Good luck and keep us posted.
