I’m going to give it a shot with my youngest this weekend. Last year we shot our biggest buck of the season on the 8th. I’m hoping to get one to come in when my daughters actually set up and ready. Figure we will hunt our normal routine in the morning then try a few rattling sequences after. Looking like it’s going to be another wet weekend here. Prob see a little of the white stuff even.
My daughter rattled in a BT for me when she was 3, it was wild. I just took her to into some thick reprod right off a very well traveled trail. Gave her the antlers, she was so good at making noise around the house I figure this would be right up her alley. Within a minute we had one moving to us, it was so close we could smell it before we saw it. I thought I was going crazy with how bad it smelled, then she said something about. One of those core memories for her.

Prime Time is near! Getting my gear ready to hit Idaho 10A again. Can't wait. Hopefully some of you are getting ready too!
Be in 10A also. 12th till whenever. Good luck and keep an eye peeled for wolves.

It will be good to see my old mentor's rustic little log hunting cabin, and raise a glass of Old Forester bourbon to his memory. I'll never forget our last deer hunt together (Nov 2022). He missed a buck, on purpose, I suspect. With a wry grin, he pointed out the bullet hole in the redcedar tree where the buck had stood, and talked about how beautiful the young buck had been. I took a nice buck a few days later, and he motored up with his ATV and little trailer to get the deer down from the snowy, pine-covered hillside. With the wood stove glowing, we toasted that deer, and everything else wild and beautiful in that valley, and also the promise of future hunts and what he called "woods time".
Man, I miss him. Tell your loved ones, relatives or not, how much they mean to you.
Sorry, everyone, I digressed from the point of this thread.
But yes, I'll be up there in the cold Idaho mountains, rattling antlers and listening for the tell-tale snap of twigs, watching for quick movement in the brush and timber!

Some of the spots I sit at ,I'll just sit and wait like normal.
Then about an hour before I bail out. Maybe tickle the horns a bit.
Just to see if anything will show ,before I head home or to work.

A list of 3nails videos as a refresher course would be great.

So a friend is convinced that I actually snort-wheezed this buck in. He may be right. At the 8 minute mark I SW and he shows up at 10 minutes.Just watched that one again yesterday.
Man you got the rattling touch . Very good at what you do.
I'm gonna keep trying,when I get bored or tired of walking and what not. I'll give it a go.

Just a reminder to everyone, with the full moon on the 15th, depending on cloud cover, deer activity will be strong at night. This typically means they won't be moving as much at first light. Midday however can be amazing for movement. Don't go in for lunch!!!
:yeah:

I've had some success rattling past day or two since my post.
Nothing harvested yet.
Definitely a believer now in rattling.
Taking my wife out tomorrow,try to rattle something for her.
I would encourage anyone on the fence to give it a try.

Definitely learning as I go.
He came out , sniffing and looking around for about 5min.
He busted us ,kinda ran back into the same thicket of trees.
I was hoping something bigger was gonna come out of that thicket.

Epic failed on rattling in my wife a buck.
Towards the end of Washington modern season,I couldn't rattle in anything. Not sure why,too many other hunters,or bucks just not interested. Not sure.
Or I suck and just got lucky.
That's how my rattling season went.
Thanks again for helping other learn rattling skills

Rattled in this young whitetail buck on the second day of my hunt. Set up in a redcedar, grand fir, and western larch stand- one rattle set (1.5 minutes) with a little grunting, He came in on a string, following a draw, and stopped and poked around my location for a few minutes. Got some good photos, and let him walk. (Glad I did- finished my season the following day with a mature buck- taken via spot and stalk, not rattling, however).Heck ya!
That's pretty cool , definitely like close up pics .👍
