[QUOTE="deerfever, post: 5709542, member: 13434"] I think it depends on how many bucks are in the area ( competition)wether it works or not and the mood.I have had it work one time on a nice 8 as he was moving away through a thicket. I pulled out the rattle bag and he came in looking for the fight. I figured that I had zero to lose trying it. On that same property I used actual horns to try and rattle back a buck that I couldn't decide to shoot or not. I caught movement the other way and there stood the buck of a lifetime that I had caught on camera one occasion. Like others said he had me pegged, I couldn't even raise my gun, one jump and he vanished. Now if I hadn't been looking in the direction the buck I let walk went, I may have had a chance Double edge sword , probably never saw him if I hadn't rattled but he busted me by pin pointing the noise. That property had several bucks and we had fights on camera. Keep in mind it works a small amount of the time or at least that's my experience. I don't think it hurts anything but who knows. [/QUOTE]
