sskybnd Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 any one having any responce to rattling the horns, or is it to early to get them intrested in it, thinking about trying it tomorrow, they seem to still be in a group, but know some time they will have to get with it to show who's the boss. just wanted to hear if any one else is using them..

woolybear Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 Have rattled in 8 different bucks over the past 3 days. They are paying no attention to my grunts but have come charging in to the horns darn near every set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RackBlaster Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 I've been rattling bucks and doe's in since early October, can't say I ever spooked a deer rattling, had them run in right under me while still bangin the horns. From my experience , most deer come in out of curiosity, why else would doe's show up. I rattle all the time, I just get more aggressive closer to the rut and less early in the season and late in the post rut. Deer will spar as soon as their hard horned and until they fall off. Start making some noise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
layin on the smackdown Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 Man, rattling is one of those things that i think is based on territory...I have never had any success with rattling whatsoever...i think there is a lot of luck involved with rattling, kind of like being in the right spot at the right time and having the right hot head buck within hearing distance. Is now the time? Absolutely...ive been putting the horns together sine the 27th...Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texan_Til_I_Die Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Rattled in 4 bucks - spike, 6 point and two 10 points - Saturday morning. Sunday morning, nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kat Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Definitely time to rattle. It works in Oklahoma for sure. The biggest buck I've ever laid my eyes on I rattled in. It's an absolute blast when they come in to the horns all pissed off and slobering! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6sixpoint_nobrows Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 im with you on there, here i canada where i hunt they ignore the horns, i have never rattled in a buck. Then i go to ohio and it works amazing. I guess the canadien bucks are more lovers then fighters haha, areas with a pretty good buck to doe ratio seems to help a lot. i hunted a farm where it was way out of whack but there was a lot of mature bucks and never had them respond to rattling. but then i hunted another place where rattling worked all the time. once i rattled a small 8 point off of a group of 4 bucks chasing one doe. it was insane. so it goes either way i guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
