I rattle in several bucks a year, but when I rattle I usually have a decoy out and I'm sure the visual aide is a plus. It all depends on the mood of the Buck. Rattling is just like Turkey calling you don't want to over do it. Even when you don't shoot a buck it's fun to watch their reaction to the whole setup, and I rarely rattle blind.All that said if I could only take my grunt call or my rattling antlers, the grunt call is going with me.
