Depending upon the area of VA in which you plan to hunt, be careful with the rattling. Many VA areas have a very very poor doe to buck ratio causing there to be very little competition for does. Namely, the bucks don't have to go too far to chase does as they are all over. That being said, rattling in these instances likely won't get the bucks attention because they don't feel as though their territory is being impeded upon because they won't be losing any does.
