OH yeah it works, I have actually heard bucks fighting before daylight I thought it was a person but I know for a fact no one hunts on our land. Plus if they were surely they wouldn' t be stupid enough to rattle just to let us know where they are. But I hate the fact that I used my gun I wish I could have gotten him with my bow. I just feel like gun hunting is not fair. What the crap is wrong with me, did I just say that.
