This could be a stupid question but does it make a difference using a set of mulie antlers to rattle for whitetails?

I've used both with success. I'll be taking both sets for my ID hunt next week.  :tup:

Perfect, I was looking through my bin of loose antlers and found a cool mulie set that has some kickers so it gives good sound

I am hunting my late whitetail draw tag here in the Blues.  Will be doing some rattling.  Haven't had much luck with it since I was a teenager, but honestly I don't do a lot of whitetail hunting.  Took a while to draw this tag...

Hey 3nails, any chance we could get a little video of what one of your normal rattling progressions looks like? The grunt video was really helpful.

 I've got a bunch of "live" rattling vids on an sd card that I can't get to for the life of me. I'll see what I can do.

Was getting ready to head up to area 111 this morning to try some rattling. Found the passenger window on the Tahoe smashed so will have to wait a day or two until I can get it replaced. Bummer !!!!!!!!!

I went out for the afternoon hunt in adjacent Idaho. Set up at the head of a small brush-and-timber gully and rattled every 20 minutes.  At 4:15 PM, had a big-bodied buck run in towards me at about 60 yards distance, but I did not get a good look at the antlers due to the brush and his speed.  He disappeared into a small, dense stand of Douglas-fir and grand fir to my right, and never emerged. 

If I had set up in a portable tree stand, I would have had a good view above the brush, and it might have been a different story!  At any rate, this guy ran right in towards the sound of the antlers.

64 degrees at first light where I was. Two set ups, zero deer encountered.
It is hard to follow one great vision in a world of darkness and of many changing shadows. Among these shadows men get lost.

That's my plan.  Gonna take Thursday off work. 

This weekend was a bust.  TONS of little rutting muleys everywhere...
