Very good tips! Couple other points: 1. if you feel you have a good lead on a big buck on public, if nasty weather comes in, get out there. Might be the 1 time he feels comfortable moving before dark. 2. Know the doe and how they avoid pressure, if you don’t do this on public then you’ll be the guy saying “no rut in my area this year”.
So in Michigan most small game hunting overlaps much of the bird and waterfowl hunting, and deer season.
So what I’m thinking and want opinions on, is getting a Ruger 10/22 takedown and swapping out a suppressed barrel, with subsonic rounds, for small game, and the Mossberg magnum 88 security, folding stock, for birds and deer when the seasons permit.
Both collapse to under 20 inches for transport, and combined weigh around 10lbs which isn’t crazy. And I can take a rabbit or squirrel without freaking out anything outside a couple hundred feet. So I’m curious what others think.

What about using doe or fawn bleat?
The biggest scam and gimmick in deer hunting is scent control.
Unbelievable I buy my food in the supermarket. I don’t have to kill any animal.
