anyone tried rattling yet this year with any success?

I sat tonight and saw two does and a small 4 pointer pushing a doe this cold snap has the bucks up and moving only a matter of time before the big bucks come into play they will only let the small bucks push does so long before they have to show who's boss. I scouted Quantico today and there were two big bucks shot last week

I saw some deer movement today. Hopefully things are getting back to normal after all this wacky weather.

Got skunked again this Sat. Did not even see one deer! Normally I see a lot of deer in this area. There is plenty of sign, just no deer. Sat. evening I listened to a coyote howl all through the woods from about three pm on. He moved all through the woods and howled ever so often. I dont know if he had spooked the deer out of the area or what. Sure hope everyone is doing better than I.

Lots of Scrapes to see
 

I hunted 2 different proeprties in Northern VA since last Thursday and they have started laying down the scrapes. I saw a nice buck kicking the dirt around and using the licking branch. Let the fun begin.
