RE: Rattling, does it work in your area?
Our buck/doe ratio is good, and that is one of the keys. Timing is also very important, you can't rattle a buck away from a hot doe. If you are in the right area and your timing is correct it is the best way I know of to kill a good buck. It is not a "magic" method, like all things it must be done correctly or you will have mixed results.
