RE: RATTLING????
A few years ago, I played around with rattling here in Illinois. Most times I got no response but one day about the 1st of November I rattled in 3 bucks within 2 hours. I saw them about 150 yards away and had no other opportunity because they were heading the other way. I picked up the antlers and started rattling and could see the response. They immediately stopped and looked my direction. They slowly turned and cautiously started my way. They all three circled down wind and came to the exact same spot about 30 yards away. Some brush in the way and offered no shot. It does work but it has to be at the right time. Other times I tried it, there was no response at all from the buck.
