I' m not from Minnesota, but I' d proabably have to say it would work if done right, and at the right time. First, you have to know when the rut occurs in your area. Probably early to mid November. Pre-rut is the best time to rattle. Although bucks will occasionally respond to rattles during the rut...pre-reut is still the best. Post-rut will also get some repsonce. There are still some does left after the rut that have yet to be HAD!!!! Also, the more competition for the bucks...the better rattles will work. If there are plenty of does to go around, then rattleing will be less productive. In the Forum of T.R' s Tips he has a good article on the fine aspects of rattling, and I think you should consider looking at this.
