 Very cool elkspert!
 
 Rattled two bucks in this morning. Got busted (argh!) by the first one. The second one came charging in, all bristled up and ready to fight. Nice buck about 20" wide but didn't have eye guards and had a busted g-2 (which should have been his g-3). Hopeing for a better one tonight.

Very cool pic Bone, have you tried rattling while on your picture taking adventures?
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

All the time for whitetails (which is where this pic came from), but not while focusing on muleys.

 Well this morning I went back into the area that I rattled in the buck without eye guards. Went in with my dad and son, who were already tagged out, and tossed the antlers to my dad and told him to rattle. He looked surprised and took the antlers to set up. Shortly after he started one of them flipped out of his hand and rolled down the mountain. He and my son burst out laughing as my dad took off after it. He continued rattling maybe 5 more seconds and I had to cut it short with a hand jesture because I heard brush breaking. Sure enough here comes the same buck I rattled in before. Not the same outcome for him this time as I let him have it. Couldn't resist shooting him with my son and dad along and the way it went down. I'll post pics of all our deer when we get back from Mont. Don't let anyone tell you you'll never rattle in the same buck twice. I've done it several times.

I thought with the rut just about starting this would be a fun one to rejuvenate. I知 looking forward to starting to rattle. I figure I値l do a few sequences with my daughter this weekend.
If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.
