How to Locate the Rattling in Deer Hunting

Video Transcript

Before you rattle you need to determine a good location to rattle. One of the most important things is that you will be walking, stalking, and using the wind to your advantage moving into your rattling location. You always want to travel into the wind; the wind is coming into your face. That is as you travel your scent is carried behind you; the area that you have already walked through. You also need to be cognizant of the fact that deer typically will circle you to get down wind to be able to smell before they come into the scene. The other thing is that you want to be sitting at a big cross road or on the edge of the field so you can overlook a vast amount of acreage, seeing the deer approach. One of the things that I like to do is to find a slightly sloped area so that I'll be facing downhill and where my scent will be carried downhill so that often times my scent will travel over deer noses as they come in. By far the deer's most sensitive defensive mechanism is their nose and if you use the wind to your advantage you greatly increase the odds of rattling up a big buck.
