[whackmaster 93]

have any of u guys ever tryed rattling in blacktails? im thinking about trying it the last few days of rifle season. or would it be a waste of time?

[NW-GSP]

I have been thinking about trying it also but have never done it

[whackmaster 93]

i have heard of people trying it. i know it works for whitetail

[Mt.Man]

[lokidog]

My boy and I rattled last week and had a deer, not sure if it was a buck, sneak up behind us and spook before I could see it.

Might try tomorrow for fun with the video camera if it's not raining.

thats neat it never worked for me

I have rattled in the past for blacktail, and the majority of the time I have deer come in to check things out.  I am sure I will try it sometime in the next week or so.  I am far from perfecting it but rattling can be very effective if you do it somewhat correctly at the right time.

It works, I have called in two blacktails.  I try bleats and grunts first then rattle if they don't work.

it works if you hit the rut at the right time

Just go for it! the anticipation is fun even if nothing comes in, although I have never had a buck come in, I have had several does show up looking curious, where the does are the backs wont be far behind. hard for a minute or so, wait half hour and try again.
