Is it illegal to rattle for late buck hunting season??? I was told by fish and wildlife it is not illegal to bait for blacktail. But i have to know if it is illegal to rattle for blacktail, maybe that fits into baiting? Not sure. I'm waiting to hear from a wildlife officer on this but i don't know how much longer I can wait.
-
rattle away - it's not baiting, it's calling.
-
Not illegal. Its a form of calling.

:chuckle: :chuckle:
You can make all the noise out there you want to. Good luck on your hunt. Not sure rattling will do much now. Try some doe in heat scent as I've been seeing bucks following does around still.
-
Why would it be illegal? Rattle, bleat, hoot and holler all you want.
-
I like to hum.
-
:yeah: so long as you are not using electronic callers, all is well. :tup:
-
ya wouldn't think it was illegal who told you that or where did you read it?

the rules are extremetly wonky if you are not a hunter and are new to all of this...but rattling is fine :tup:

...if I do rattle, my Dad said that I want a pair of horns that have a good hard sound to them instead of some spindly two point antlers. .. the only real horns I have are two points. From when I shot a buck in the ear canal 75 yds away with open sights. My husband has a plastic set of horns that was on his archery target, I played with those and they have a deeper sound than my real ones.
-
No harm in trying if they sound better than your two point. Iv'e seen synthetic rattlin' horns before.
-
Baiting is also legal.

:yeah: :yeah: :yeah: :yeah:

Rattle away and git r dun! Goofy fish and game officer! :chuckle:

I like to rattle them in but I have shoes made of apples and apple colonge on :chuckle:

Manual rattling is fine. ELECTRONIC calling devises for deer and turkey is illegal. see See 2012 hunting regulations page 76, rule #13.
-
Rattle, grunt, bait, it's all good, just don't use an ecaller, that is illegal. Good luck.

thank you SO much for pointing this out. I think I read it but it just wasn't popping into my head when I was typing the question. It made much more sense when i actually did what someone said!
-
Maybe..just maybe.. my husband didn't want me to get a deer this year so he can get one next year and rub it in my face. ?? Hmm I'll fix his wagon lol. I'm gonna rattle in a dandy 3 pt my dad actually had one follow him today so they are ruttin'! Yahoo!

:chuckle: what's actually funny about this, when i would hunt with my dad and I was still in high school, I had a spray on Apple attractant for deer and it just smelled SO good I used it for perfume in school!!! :chuckle:
-
Pile up the apples a rattle away!

:hello: How many deer would you actually see with this type of attractant? :dunno:

I was thinking of hanging a bag of chopped apples in a tree to keep a scent trail there even when the deer had eaten the apples I put out.

:hello: Good idea... My husband likes the really ripe apples and smears them on the ground with his boot.
Apple attractant sounds like a good idea as well... I read somewhere that vanilla is also a good attractant and maybe cedar... :dunno:

My neighbor cut a cedar down and every piece of green within reach got eaten. They also love to eat any alder leaves that come down with branches. I have an alder I want down and will probably do it this weekend for my hunters and before the leaves die off anyways. Another scent that might attract is dirt, they seem to like to have dance parties in freshly turned dirt.

Yes i do HawgDawg but she aint like me.
Where my dad and I hunt, (which is where nobody else is) I talked to him about bringing some apples out, he said its not a good idea. That he tried it and it just seemed to scare them away. Being there is no Orchards for about 3-5 miles.
But I did get to rattle yesterday and didn't have any luck. Lol, I felt silly at first but i got over it when I separated from my dad. I did not even see a doe yesterday. :(
I did take some pics of what I posted in the cougar section on this site, what i thought was a cougar scratchin' tree. I'll try to post some there.
And one more of some other area we were in yesterday.
