It sounds like you love blacktails as much as I do. In Calif. where I used to hunt, there were no rut hunts, so I would camera hunt during the rut. I have rattled in many blacktails, and have hours of old film of them. I have yet to kill a whitetail, but only hunt with the bow. I am going out tomorrow hopeful that I can rattle one in. To me this is like turkey hunting, I enjoy the calling in the spring more than the killing, even with my bow. This to me is the fun of the hunt.
