Default rattle in a muley?

This may have been discussed before so sorry in advance if it has. I hunt whitetail, but just got a place to shoot mule deer. My question is can you rattle in a mule deer like you do a whitetail?

Don't know why it wouldn't work, but have never tried it. I have been callig coyotes on numerous occasions though, and had mulies come in droves to a distressed rabbit call.....

I've tried....once.... in one of those situations that you can see the buck but he can't see you but to no avail he just stared.(it was just a couple days ago in prime rut)
They best method for mulies is spot an stalk that's just about the only thing that works at least in open country. Bring a grunt call to catch the bucks attention right before you shoot but leave you antlers for whitetails.
