Title: Rattling Whitetails class
Post by: 3nails on August 10, 2016, 01:36:17 PM: For anyone interested in how we have been successful in rattling mountain whitetails I'm going to do a class on August 28, 6 pm, in Bellingham at Bloedel park. There is a little building for rent there that we are going to use. We are asking for $10 per person to help cover costs. Please let me know if you plan to make it so we have it set up right. Here is a link that may be helpful: http://hunting-washington.com/smf/index.php/topic,101693.0.html
Let me know if you have any questions.

Post by: Ridgerunner on August 12, 2016, 08:03:57 AM: Wondering if there is anyone from the main metro area that might be interested in riding up there for the class together. I'm seriously considering it but having a traveling companion or two might make the drive go by a little faster. Coming from Black Diamond so I'd go up 405 N and catch I-5.

Yes!

I only hunt blacktails (I live west of the crest, can't take vacation time). I plan to be there and any ideas about blacktails you can sneak into your lecture will be appreciated. But if I'm the only one who is interested in blacktails, don't make a big deal out of it.

Don't know how I missed this. It's on Electric Ave I believe just south of Alabama St. on Lake Whatcom.

Post by: pope on August 29, 2016, 07:16:01 AM: Thanks 3-Nails! Two hours packed with information based on decades of experience. Now I wish I could take vacation in November and go to Idaho. Well worth the drive from Bonney Lake to attend this excellent seminar.
Title: Re: Rattling Whitetails class
Post by: Okanagan on August 29, 2016, 07:31:33 AM: Yes! Great class: quality information presented well.

I've only rattled in a fraction of the bucks 3nails has but everything he said matched my experience and added info to take me farther and deeper. I will use his techniques this Fall. Good stuff!
Title: Re: Rattling Whitetails class
Post by: Ridgerunner on August 29, 2016, 08:06:05 AM: I'll agree, it was a long drive but well worth it, I learned ALOT last night and can't wait to try some of it out this fall.
Title: Re: Rattling Whitetails class
Post by: 3nails on August 29, 2016, 09:00:42 PM: Thanks guys! Very glad you got something out of it. I truly hope it will lead you to huge success! I really enjoyed talking with everyone and could easily have gone another hour.

Post by: grundy53 on August 29, 2016, 09:13:44 PM: I really wish I could have made it. I look forward to your whitetail threads every year. You should put out a YouTube video. That way the rest of us can learn from your vast knowledge. :chuckle:

Rattling whitetails is a blast, even for the novice! I also wish I could have made it out there. 3nails, that was a great thing for you to do for the community. If you ever swing through Pullman/Moscow/Troy, let me know- I'll buy you a coffee/beer/beverage, and shamelessly pick your brain! :)
