RE: Rattling in Alabama
In the new Quality Deer Management Association magazine there is a good article about rattling. I need to reread it, but the chart shows the response to rattling in the morning time of peak rut it 100%. This is based on response of radio collared bucks. The majority of the bucks were not seen, but the radio collar gave them away. If you are in the Montgomery area the rut is probably peaking in the middle to late January.
