BLACKTAIL RATTILING!

[irishevox]

 There is a thread on here about Whitetail rattling but there isn't one on black tail.   I am assuming it's similar, but i have never had a black tail bolt in like a white tail does.  I know with white tails you can use decoys, scents, etc... and of course rattling.  With blacktails i have only ever hunted them from a stand,blind, or spot and stalk.  So what your take? what do you do to rattle one of these big boys in?

I've had some luck; but only in the rut. I heard they respond pre-rut but never had any luck.

Start slow, and make sure you are concealed well.

Last year I called in a fellow hunter too...

Tree Killer a member on this site absolutely slays them in OR.  See this linked thread to make you jealous.  http://hunting-washington.com/smf/index.php/topic,108231.0.html.  There are a few other members that have managed to figure it out as well.

like I tell everyone when things are not happening you have to make something happen ..that's one way to make it happen ..also get yourself a grunt tube ... I have tried many but the best one for me with results has been the ( Ridge Runner) by Quaker Boy ...Wow..did I just give out to much info ?

Looking at this deer's face I'm compelled to ask a question:Did you have to fight him off with those rattlin horns?

Come on, Rasbo.  You are killing me.  Tell me the story with this fellow (what happened to his face and his eye?).  Did you punch him?
