the buck ratios in my area is out of wack and therefore competition is low. i gave up rattling 5 years ago after trying it many times. i do believe it work in places like south texas but not in my neck of the woods. i would care to say most of the the average hunters on this board are in the same boat . the hunting shows make it look real easy but you gotta figure by the time they edit out things it looks like they rattle once and the buck comes running when in reality its rattling over the course of days in prime locations and time of the year.the bleats ive herd sound similar but not like the can. im not doubting it worked. i will only grunt if deer are heading away from me. i just wanted to let the many who have tried and bought the product that there not alone. to me a grunt tube isisnt magic by any means but all the t.v. show bubbas make it like the holy grail.
