hoping to rattle in a buck tomorrow on my palouse tag, have the horns ready, tried it once, mostly bashed my fingers up lol. did a third buck show up or what were they so intently looking at
It never appeared from the brush. I don’t know. I’m sure there was the way they acted. I’m guessing bigger buck or predator. They cared about it, not me.

Have you ever tried to rattle in a Muley? I read in a college level Mule Deer biology book that both does and bucks will come looking to watch the fight.

Went to a spot that I know holds Deer. found a large log laying down that I could lean up against. Waited 20+ min then set in for My firsts rattle. I used a Primos rattle bag and the Can. Went like this.
can can, wait 5 min, rattle (med to light) for 2min, wait 5 to 10 min ,rattle (med) for 2min, wait for 5 min, Rattled again (went crazy with it) simulate all out war between two bucks.
waited 15 min then needed to walk around. :bdid: walked 30 yards and a Deer (maybe a buck?) bolted into the woods right in front of Me. :bash: He was down wind also. all I saw was it's rear end bounce twice and then disappear into the reprod. I went in 5 feet and realized there was zero chance for anything happening in there. I am going to call it a success and will try again once or twice next year.
I would appreciate any input.
