What does “flagging” mean?
A. Caribou during the rut are very receptive to a variety of calling methods. One thing that often works well is waving a white towel to simulate a big stag shaking his mane. Another stag takes this as a challenge, and will sometimes come straight to you from 300-500 yards away. I’ve found that once you get his attention it is better to roll the towel up and hang it around your neck and down over your chest. If the stag “hangs up” take the bottom of both ends and shake them. Doing this in combination with raking a bush with a stick, antler or axe handle can be deadly!
