In 22 years I've rattled in exactly one buck. Not saying it doesn't work. I know this sounds strange but I've actually had more doe show up after a rattling sequence. In my area of the state they're so many bucks now compared to the early 2000's and all through the 90's you almost have to hunt a little bit different than you did back then. Understand I'm saying there are more bucks in my area. Not bigger bucks
