what seasons do you successful hunters hunt when rattling is the best.  considering the season dates for each weapon?  archery season or rifle season?

I've rattled a few small black tails in on the late rifle hunt, but had no luck a week later during archery, for what that's worth.   Has anyone successfully got a mulie this way?

I rattle this blacktail in last season....i was sitting just over the edge of a landing overlooking a huge clearcut....it was 12pm and havent seen anything for a couple hrs so i got out my 3pt rack from the previous year and started rattling, stomping and beating brush...i did it for about 5min....after glassing for 10 min this guy was standing on the timber line....he didnt make it much farther...this was the end of oct.

 I just wanted to add that if you are planning on rattling in Idaho, where hunter orange is not required and you don't normally wear it there, you may want to reconsider. At least put out some orange on a branch next to you. Wolf season is open also so irresponsible hunters may be more apt to take shots at movement in the brush. :twocents:

Tried it quite a few times with no success.  It's too much fun to stop trying, though.  :tup:
If it was easy, everybody would be doing it.
