RE: Is it too early to rattle????
I just posted about basket bucks in my backyard, a 5x5 and a 4x4. After scoping them for a while from the kitchen I went out the front door on the opposite side of the house and a few yards into the woods and started rattling. I didn't have a jacket on in it was in the low 40's, so I only rattled a short while until I got up to go back in. It just so happened that they were sneaking back around to me and were 30 yards off behind a thick stand of dogwood saplings where I couldn't see them, but they were coming around for a look.
