Rattling has been very productive for me. The gratitude is also great when you rattle one in and take the harvest. I am so confident in rattling that I feel i can pull a buck to me in any patch of woods. I have friends that ask me to rattle for them, they have seen me in action.
I rattled in 14 different bucks in 3 differentcounties one year.
It's the only way I hunt for bucks,I sit in stands or blinds for deer, but when the time comes, out come the horns and it's me on the ground, one on one with the big boys. I love it. I have had bucks come in so dazed and confused looking for a fight, they will be slobbering at the mouth. It's too cool to see steam blowing out their nose, they are that close at times. Took a descent 11 pointer this year at 15 yds.
congrats on your kill!
