[8D] Rattling [8D]

Your buck must have had his butt kicked previously as he wanted nothing to do with the buck that was making all the noise. You'll experience a lot more of that and different scenarios too. Does will come in to see who the big guys is too.They'll charge in,sometimes you won't even know he was their and hear a branch break as he departs after seeing you. 90% of the time u better get them antlers down when your done to prevent the deer from seeing your movement because they can pinpoint where the rattling came from to a tee. Don't give up and yes it also has a lot to do the buck to doe ratio too. Keep at it,it's an exciting way to hunt.
