[QUOTE="Dumbluck, post: 5768545, member: 22434"] I never rattle at a buck I can visually see. I will always let them walk off for a minute out of sight before rattling. They are smart enough to know how close you are and can pinpoint noise much better than we can. If they look where the fight should be and see nothing an older deer will typically respond as that buck did. When I need a deer to turn I typically start out with the softest grunt I can and I watch his ears, not his head. If he cocks an ear then he heard you. I'll try another soft grunt again after I know he heard me and watch to see if he stops or continues. No matter what he does at this point I remain silent to see what he does. If he continues and starts to get out of sight I will snort wheeze. After that I will wait a while at least 5 to 10 minutes and see if he responds. If he does not after being completely out of sight will try a very short rattle sequence and then I'm done. I've had some bucks come back 20 to 30 minutes later to investigate. [/QUOTE]
