Ive been hunting many many years and really never shot a descent buck untill last year. shot two actually an 8 and a 10 pointer. How did i finally mange to do what I couldnt do the past 10 years ? I learned how to rattle. Boy oh boy does it work ! I will never blind hunt another day of my life, ok maybe with my bow but I will rattle also. Do some scouting and look for rubs and scrapes and rattle those areas. I manged to rattle in about 10 or 12 bucks last year, 2 of which I took and 3 of which were taken by friends. I'm a changed hunter.
