I rattled in a 140ish buck two days ago. A buddy rattled three in that same afternoon(all scrap). Mine came to some light stuff. Grunted one in tonight and another on the 3rd I believe. Responses have been ok when I’ve tried.

I will keep at it till I tag out no matter the weather
Most years I do well rattling but this year it has not been too hot for me. Only one buck called in and a good one but no shot opportunity

Mid november onwards for whitetails is hard to beat. The rut is always exciting. Myself, I’ve yet to fill any tags so I’ll be out all weekend. I’m looking forward to the cold and snow, it usually gets deer up moving around at some point.

Heading out in a couple of hours to do some rattling. The boss is taking the kids to her friends daughter's first birthday party. Unfortunately I can't make it. I told her the deer are calling. And I must answer.
I might need more tags if things like this keep coming up lol.

Rattled in two over the last hour. Scrub came first. Then a 125-130” 4x4. Neither came hard at all. Just slipped in without a sound.

I’m definitely headed out tomorrow as it’s the only day of the week I can. Hopefully this weather gets the deer moving.
