Rattling State Game Lands?

[gonehunting 45]

I've never had any luck with rattling on public land. I didn't try to often. The only time I use a grunt tube is when I see a buck going in a different direction. I dont want to bring another hunter into the area trying to sneak up on the sounds he heard.

I have never tried rattling or grunting on public land due to the safety aspect of other hunters. I have rattled on my property with somewhat success. I normally start rattling around the pre rut rut period when I'm seeing alot of bucks sparing on the property. I would typically rattle around a good staging area around a good scrape line. My techniques are just small clashes of the bag and a few grunts, the bucks typically dont all out fight on my property. I think the doe to buck ratio is pretty high.. Good luck this season and be safe on the public land..andrew
