matt01 Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 If you can rember the post (first deer260lbs, massive 11point) i rattled that deer in and the buck i posted about that i missed and a big 6 point deer have all cam running into my antlers. My friend shot the big 11 point when i rattled him in. I missed a big 12 point that came running in hard to my antlers and tonight a small racked huge bodied 6 point came to my antlers. I hunt in northern illinois and my stand is by a pine tree with 7 scapes and 2 rubs around it. I decided to pass on the little 6 but im going back out on tuesday. My antlers must be magic.

NY911Bowhunter Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Re: WOW does rattleing in illinois work well Rattlin not so good yet here in NY - it's a very narrow window on when it works. But if you time it right - dang is it hot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam16 Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Re: WOW does rattleing in illinois work well It never works for me, i think i've only had 1 buck respond well to antlers in my 5 years of hunting... And they claim you cant do it wrong... i must be finding ways... haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mach1 Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Re: WOW does rattleing in illinois work well Rattling hasn't done anything for me yet this season. Bucks in our hunting area aren't responding to any calling at all. I'm in central IL along the IN border. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
