Greg - it may just be something about the area we hunt but I've never had much success with rattling either. In fact, I don't know many peole around here who have. However, I've had great success with a grunt call and know others who have as well.

I think of all the times I've rattled in my life, which was a lot when I was younger, I can definitely say I've had maybe two deer that I knew for a fact were coming into the rattling. Other than that I either haven't seen anything at all, or spooked deer from it.
