Rattling n estrus right now

Is it too early? Does it even help right now for blacktail

Never too early to tickle some antlers together from Oct 10th onward. Not saying it's ideal, but you never know. I got a whiff of a stinky buck yesterday with wind coming off a hill but never put eyes on him.

Good answer.  You should never be surprised if a buck comes in to rattling.  Similarly, you should never be surprised that they didn't.  Think of it a a tool in your box.  Worth a try.  Sometimes it works, sometimes not.

I saw a great BT yesterday morning with a doe and fawn. Couldn't shoot, too fsr. He split off from them pretty quick, but I know where I'll be looking on Saturday morning. Been hearing from others that they been seeing bucks  having does already.

Rattling can work anytime!  Hell, I rattled up a buck during late archery (end of December) with tapping my arrow on my riser.

Big mule deer this morning with a puffy throat, lip curled, and chasing around a couple does. I told my dad he’d better shoot him as that bucks gotta have a brain tumor or something. It’s been late November weather so maybe he was a bit confused
