RE: rattling vs. grunting
I called in a nice 4x4 white tail by rattle and grunting. First you start out by taking one of your antlers and rubbing a small tree with it. Then you take the antlers and lightly hit the anlers together and don't rattle for more than 45 seconds at a time if you are lightly rattling and make sure to space the rattles out by about 10 minutes every time. Just before you start rattling do a deer grunt and then start the rattling. But inbetween waiting 10 minutes before rattling again through in a few grunts.
