MossySNPR Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Was just wondering how you all rattle in a sequence. Like what do you do, clash them, then just crank them together for 30 seconds? I'm just wondering because I've never rattled before but I'm hunting an area this year that I should be, right now the antlers I want to use are a small 6 and a small 4 point.

Guest lilcrackshot Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Re: Rattling Patterns start off by rubbing a tree with one of the antlers and then clash the antlers together hard. This will get the attention of any buck within ear shot. Bucks don't just tinkle antlers together so make it sound like two big bucks that are mad.

double_drop Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Re: Rattling Patterns don't really have any certain pattern but i rub mine on a tree and then rattle them together. Nothing special but it seems to bring in the bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cutter Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Re: Rattling Patterns I start off soft in case theirs somthin close by .If nothin shows within 3-5 min. I give the horns a loud crack along with some grunting lots of clashing and hard rubbing then a short break and do it over again. Wain 15-20 min. try again They may charge in lookin for a fight or sneak in down wind each encounter will be diff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sasksheds Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Re: Rattling Patterns Buy a video or tape.Have you ever seen 2 bucks fighting?Or heard them?I have.Ive seen a buck on a hot doe.He followed her grunting almost every 3 steps.Another buck came out to his grunting.Well the fight was on.But they did start softly with tinkling & then got real serious.Pound the ground with one of the antlers as if hoof stopping.Also rake the grass & shrubs during sequences.

wtnhunt Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 Re: Rattling Patterns Dont really have apattern, but usually start off with a little grunting and maybe a few bleats from the can. Been using a rattle bag, duration of calling sequences vary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
