i got a question

bowtech,
Rattling is like someone yelling "fight" on a school playground. Everyone comes to see it, but don't want to get involved.

I've called does and bucks with rattling, but I've spooked both away from the area too. Rattling has a lot to do with what's going on in your section/state/time of the year, etc.

I find rattling too risky of a method for trying to attract deer. By "risky" I mean that there's too many variables. I'd much rather use the 2 feeding Renzo doe decoys that I have and use mouth calls to attract them. I've had very good success with this method of attracting deer.

I use a Primos "estrus can" call and a Primos "buck & doe" hands free (inhale) call, at the same time. This simulates a buck tending or attempting to tend a doe. When the buck (s) or doe (s) show up, they have decoys to keep their attention until I decide to take the shot or not. I also place a 35mm film canister with cotton balls inside them that have vanilla extract on them, by each decoy. The vanilla extract is a sweet smell and it makes them curious....again, holding their attention until I decide to take the shot or not.

Good hunting, Bowhunter57
