130pm rattling

Great I had a guy 150 yards from me on Saturday rattling every 10 minutes like clockwork. I can't wait until the rattlers start making commotion for 10 minutes straight.

Maybe you should try it and the deer may travel 150 yards to you instead of him.... or maybe that wasn't another hunter

Rattle hard and loud for 10 minutes set a timer on your phone or watch and don't stop for 10 min. In the last 6 times I have done it I have had 5 bucks come in 3 shooters mine being to smallist of the 3 shooters. It has worked for other friend of mine this year also

Guess I know what I'm doing on Saturday then ;)
 
Mississippi State University did research on this and if I remember correctly long and aggressive rattling produced the best results. But this was in TX I think. MSU deer lab did a podcast on it so definitely not a secret. Episode 13, “the science of antler rattling”.

Congrats on the buck!

Buddy of mine watched two young bucks fight this morning. The first text was at 6:51 that they were fighting. The final text that it was over was at 7:32

Congrats on the buck Travis!!! I had a couple small bucks fight close to me about a week ago went on for 15 minutes. Wasn't super aggressive but it was loud. I've almost completely quit carrying antlers to. May have to rethink that...
