Default Deer Calling

Gonna be my first time deer (whitetail tag) hunting this year. I've been scouting an area of public land and found 3 whitetail does and a few mule does in the area. I'm going out tomorrow to construct a natural ground blind in hopes of calling a deer to me. What would be the best way for me to do that? My sole purpose is to put meat in the freezer so I'm not concerned whether I shoot a doe or a buck.

I would suggest not building a blind and just moving through the Bush on setups and calling grunting this time of year and later in November start rattling that way you're more mobile

Welcome to the world of whitetail hunting. Ground blinds work,study your set up
Abit before placing one. I used to make them out of dead poplar. You are getting closer to the rut so there is a lot at play and a lot that could happen fast. Watch a few vids on alberta whitetail hunts,you tube is full of them. Be patient be quiet. And don’t have a nap in your blind.

the nap part is probably the hardest part of hunting in a blind haha! My buddy and I both fell asleep this year only to go check a cam in the same area and see fresh prints walk right past us

Set up your "Fort" at an advantage point to see a few hundred yards in many directions on higher ground if possible.

If this area shows sign both past and present as in rubs and scrapes, deer droppings etc be patient and you will have success.

Good luck.
