I hear ya, Pat...
Okay, thanks for the info on rattling... I'm gonna give it a go, but I've never grunted either, I'm afraid of making an @ss of myself to the deer! LOL
Anyway, I have seen way LESS activity, doe and buck wise in my area. Don't know what's up with that, but such as life, I don't go hunting enough to really be the best judge of it anyway, two kids will do that to ya, ya know?
