Very nice buck and rattled in too!!  Not a big deal, but what's with the pictures....the left and right antlers seem to change sides??  Maybe it's just late!  :dunno:
I have no idea :dunno:  thats wierd.  I'm sure someone on here  will  have an explanation for that.  Some kind of mirror affect  i guess.

Forward facing camera and rear facing camera will flip stuff around sometimes on some phones

Any way gorgeous buck !

Great write up and great buck.  Good to see them coming into a rattle.  I've tried it a bit, but not with a lot of confidence.  Gonna have to keep trying now.

That's great, love it when a plan comes together! I have never really given rattling a try, just half heartedly here and there like you. Every success story I've heard from guys rattling BT though is pretty much like you did. Light rattling in short increments seems to get them moving. It's odd because I've seen sign on roads of some knockdown drag out fights, but they don't seem to like aggressive rattling like whitetails do.

Yea, I've seen the same sign of fighting that looks like they were tearing the crap out of each other.  Until this instance the big fight was what I was trying to imitate.

I've got some spots that I really want to give it a try. I know there are bucks in them, but man they're just to thick to hunt otherwise. Maybe next year I'll get in there and give it a go.
