The buck/doe ratio on the 33 acres i hunt here is pretty good, id say about 40/60. I have seen 6 bucks on the property so far. Because of this, i tried rattling the other day (3 times now). First time I rattle 3 bucks came right in, 2nd time I had a big buck come in but never w/ in my range, 3rd time nothing...I would say they are definately intrigued though...time to give it a try
