BigBucks27 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Do you rattle racks in the beginning of the year? And does it work for you guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetailfreak55 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Beginning of the year I just tickle the tines together to mimic bucks sparring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUDRUNNER Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 I usually start a little light rattling in mid October. Around Halloween I start getting a little more aggressive. I don't rattle a lot though....maybee every hour and a half to two hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 monster buck secret for when you're in the timber and deer could be close. hang them from your bow rope and drop them together and into the ground... sounds like a couple bucks doing some light sparing, but you get the foot work sounds in there too.

BigBucks27 Posted September 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Ok cool, yeah I have never tried it. Usually just throw out some grunt calls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arrow32 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 rattling racks I do some light rattling in mid to late october. Have had quite a bit of luck at times doing so. But I don't always rattle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevo72 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 rattling racks I dropped something the other day from my bow rope and figure I would kill a deer by means of heart attack with all the noise! How would I explain that to a game warden? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Country Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 I have had a lot of luck in the past five years with it... it has never worked for me any earlier than the third weekend in October though... Start about 1 week before Halloween (at about one 2-5 minute set per hour)...go to about once every 45 minutes during the first week in November...then once every 30 minutes during weeks 2-3 in November... I always start out the sequence with a few estrus doe bleats (Primos can-call), followed about a minute later with a buck grunt (Quaker Boy grunt call)...sometimes with a different grunt call (K&H Easy-Grunter)...then a minute or so later the rattling sequence (K&H Rattle Bag)...start light (think a couple of 1 1/2 y.o. 8 points) and increase the volume over a minute or two (and harder / more aggressive over the next few weeks)...finish with a defiant grunt call... Two of the bucks I called in this way were a 160+ class 10 point and a 140+ class 12 point (on public land)...both the first Saturday in November a couple of years apart...from the same tree...

How would I explain that to a game warden? drop was maybe the wrong word. i simply lift them of the ground a little bit. i'm not dumping them off the edge of my stand or anything like that. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
