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.
What you've said is exactly true for all of the places I've hunted, Wis and Ill. Every once in a while I'll watch a video where it works great, then I go out and try.......... and zilch!! [:@]
Same here, I think it has alot to do with the Buck to Doe ratio in different parts of the Country.
Kansas = Ratteling and grunting works well.
Kentucky = just grunting.
Northern Michigan = Better off just holding still ( they know all the tricks)
