I put a camera on me for a rattling sequence just for an idea of how I usually go about it. I was going to edit it down but I left it full length just for real time purposes. The buck came crashing in while I was still rattling. Took me quite a while to decide if I wanted to shoot him. The camera rolling ultimatelt made me decide to and I'm glad I did.

awesome video, that video showing you doing the sequence is much more valuable and a better learning moment for me compared to a chopped up video with the kill shot, thanks so much for posting this. couple questions though. What made you choose that spot to rattle, where the tracks, just nice open timber, rattled there before, etc., and if you didnt rattle a buck, or passed that buck, how far would you go before another setup. thanks again and congrats
retweet!
Also- absolutely love the video
to go with those questions/ ask my own
generally how long would your sequence gone should the buck not have come crashing in?
And then if unsuccessful how long before you start a new sequence?
Thanks for any other help but the video is fantastic! :tup: :tup:

Deer used to be found in abundance in almost all drainages but after the wolf boom they move around away from predation and I have to relocate the best numbers every year. My favorite drainage was virtually void of deer sign this year. I found good sign in this area, found bedding areas in the ninebark and rattled the edges. This was the 2nd time rattling that morning about 2 hrs and 2 hundred yards apart.

I did watch the other day when posted.
Some day I hope to rattle one in.
Congrats on a nice buck.

Maybe I missed it but which way was the wind blowing? I.e. In your face on the rattling stand? At your back? from one side or the other, uphill or down?
Man that is beautiful open country.

Excellent video! Thanks for posting.This was an evening hunt and the thermals were dropping. That's why I was mostly focused on across and up the ridge. A couple hours before this, when they were still rising, I had a buck come in from above me and blow up the whole mountainside when he smelled me. :chuckle:

Super cool. I don’t recall seeing a video of your blacktail sequence is it similar?Yes but I'm not nearly as successful with blacktails. :DOH:

One question if you don't mind answering - what is the call you used at the beginning of your sequence? I don't have any calls. I was just using an old set of antlers to rattle but would like to up my game if possible.
Thank you

I carried rattling antlers in my day pack more this year,than other years. Definitely inspired by your success.
Thanks for posting,taking the time to record it.👍

Thank you! Excellent info, good of you to share such tactics learned by long experience!
I've rattled in a number of small to medium racked whitetails, but only one really BIG buck (that I know about anyway :)) You are exceptionally good at rattling in big ones! Bravo!

First - thank you for posting the rattling video. I just started attempting this year for blacktail in SW WA. No luck yet but no issue with continuing to try.The first call was just your standard issue estrus bleat can. The grunt tube was a new one for me that I'm very pleased with. I've had several Primos tubes but this one is very soft. The most realistic sounding one I've ever used.
