How to Rattle the Deer for Deer Hunting

Video Transcript

When you are actually starting to rattle you need to remember that you are trying to make as much noise as possible. It is completely opposite of hunting in a deer stand or while walking. When a deer fights they come at each other together. It's not a bunch of rubbing of the antlers. It is more of a big push and then moving back and forth as the deer fight pushing each other. There are different studies and different opinions. A lot of people like to rattle for sixty to ninety seconds during the first sequence creating as much sound as possible. Also while you're doing it you can be crashing brush and various trees and limbs as you're rattling. This, like I say, goes for sixty to ninety seconds then you can stop and wait five minutes or ten minutes looking for potential bucks to come in. After that first initial fight you can do a second sequence, a second rattling period, which can be a little quicker forty-five to sixty seconds. Then wait another additional five to ten minutes. Then finally do a third sequence of forty-five to sixty seconds. Sometimes deer will come in immediately, thirty seconds or a minute. Other bucks traveling long distances or less interested bucks that are just kind of curious will take twenty minutes or so to work their way into the area trying to sense danger and testing the bucks coming in.
