crossbow harvest
While sitting in a ground blind Friday morning with my nephew, I decided to try some rattling. I rattled for about 30 seconds or so and the rubber band came off of my rattle box. I fiddled with it for a few seconds and then gave another 15-20 seconds of rattling. I looked up and there he was about 40 yds from us. I never saw him move, just saw that he was there. I readied my crossbow and shot. I hit him in the spine and put him right down. This is the second buck that I've ever been able to rattle in. If you've never tried it, you'll feel like an idiot the first time, but when it works.... IT WORKS!!!!!
