Title: Blacktail; Calls, Scents, Rattles?
Post by: Mongo Hunter on August 01, 2012, 11:44:14 AM: I just bought a rattle bag, tinks #69, bombs and a Mad Hyper Growl Deer Call for my hunt in Oklahoma this year, figured I would give them a shot.

Has anyone tried any of these on Washington Black tails with any luck? I hear some of the "old school" guys I used to hunt with here joke about how worthless they were and said calls, rattles, scents, etc. were just a waste of money. I hear the opposite from the folks in Oklahoma they love all that stuff, they wont swear by any one method just to try and see what works best.

I never have used them in Washington, any thoughts?

I was looking more Black tail specific that's what I have in my area and would like more info than what I found.
