I have taken most of my bucks just outside their bedding areas. I try not to "invade" their bedding area by getting too close, thus in return making me successful. When setup just outside their bedding areas during the rut, I like to rattle lightly for about 2 minutes about 20 minutes before dark, then wait about 5-10 minutes and rattle again.By doing this, im not spooking the bucks from the bedding area, but attracting them to my calling. It has been working for me the lastfew yearswhenI decided to start setting up outside the bedding areas. Heres the one I got in Nov 2005.
