Well rattling brings in bucks thats obvious but when I go and rattle often times I feel like I diminish my chances of seeing a doe. Is this the case? Does rattling actually decrease the likelihood of seeing does? Or is my way of thinking crazy?
I don't think that it diminishes your chances of seeing a doe, especially after what happenedto a friend of mine last year. He actually rattled in a DOE. True story. He just completed a rattling sequence and a doe came running in like she was on a string. When he went to field dress her it was obvious that she was in estrus. The only thing that I can figure is that she was expecting to be bred by the winner.
