Default RE: Antler rattleing

I know it works!I have been grunting and rattling in deer for
about 20 years now.I have rattled in large bucks and also small
bucks.I have shot some nice bucks by rattling.I will usually grunt
first then pick up horns and rattle for about 45 seconds and then
lay horns down and then grunt about 5 or 6 more times.Get your
gun ready and always wait at least 45 minutes to see if a deer will
come in.I have had them run in with hair standing up and looking for
a fight and also had them come slowly sneaking in.This method mainly
works best during the prerut season.After the prerut I will then switch
over to using a woods wise grunt tube for buck grunts first and then
turn my primos can bleat call upside down 2 times and then just get
ready as this method has also brought me in does and bucks using this
technique.If nothing comes in wait about 30 minutes and repeat the
grunting sequence again.I learned how to rattle and grunt deer in about
20 years ago watching Roger Raglin and Dan Fitzgerald hunting videos.
It will really work so just watch some quality videos to learn the methods
on how to do it.It will not always work but when it does there is no way
that is more exciting.Just remember that rattling is most effective in the
prerut then after that time is over use a grunt tube and a primos can.
Dont give up just practice and believe it works because it does!Good
luck to you. Mike
