Whose rattling whitetails this year?

[3nails]

 Just curious whose committed to rattling in a whitetail this season. I'll be in western Montana with my son for up to two weeks. We are completely committed to it and with this much time and the Lords blessings we'll get it done! I have received a lot of pm's from hunters asking about rattling so I'm hoping you all will post up your success/failures for us all to learn from. I'll post updates on how bucks are responding throughout our hunt. Unfortunately the whole family can't make the trip this year so it looks like bacon for breakfast and burgers for dinner every day!

I too like in Western Montana and will be trying my best to learn all I can about rattling in some bucks. I am a muley guy, but my wife and I will be trying to get her a whitey with the rattling horns.

I'll be giving it a shot this year for the first time, really looking forward to trying it out.

I live in Libby and will be hunting Lincoln County. Been  scouting my butt off, have lots of mature bucks located. Now I have to figure out how to get them in the cross hairs.

3nails deer hunting in Vermont is a love hate relationship. Since I grew up there and that was the first hunting I was exposed to that's what I look forward to and love going back every year.  The hate is the area I hunt and family owns land on has a very low density of deer. It can make for a very long season. But usually every year there is at least one good buck taken off the ridge where we hunt. Below is an example from last year. But all in all it's a good time. I am flying back and getting an out of state deer and bear tag for less than a Wa out of state deer tag.

 That's a cool looking rack QUINNB! I hope you get a bigger one this year.

 Second day of our Montana hunt and we rattled in our first buck of the season. A little 4x3 that my dad couldn't pass on. It was the first rattle of the day and probably 7th so far. 3 does right out the back door of the cabin bedded down alone so I don't believe we've hit peak rut. Usually several bucks show up when that happens.
