I'd be interested to try more of the rattling up here. I've heard it can work. I use a bleat pretty exclusively during the rut. Plenty of bucks come running into those. However, as Calvin says, it's a bit different up here than whitetail hunting.

When I lived in ID, I grunted in a nice buck one year. Had a pard rattle in one later that same day. Otherwise it was pretty quiet, still hunting most of the time.

Deal with it.
