Default Rattling?

I was just wonder how often you guys rattle and how long you do and what kind of sequences you do it in. Also if you have had any luck. Thanks!

when i start out i just tickle the horns and wait about 10-15 minutes. nothing showing up ill give a little more until all out rattling. i had some does about 120 yards away that when i rattled they took off but they came back 10 minutes later. but the next night i watched 2 bucks fighting for about 10 minutes. they would lock up for about 1 min or so then circle and did this over and over. there was a hot doe close by and they would sniff where she just peed then back at it again. only thing that stopped was when 2 other bucks started fighting in the woodlot and they took off to see what was up. i rattled in the biggest buck a real nice 8 that came out of standing corn to 40 yards after i threw in a snort wheeze and he responded immediately. he was definitely a dominant buck in the area. he was 4 1/2 yr old. other wise i think the snort wheeze would have scared him off. if you snort wheeze at a 2 1/2 yo they will head for the hills.
