Rattling whitetail deer is one of our most popular methods of hunting.  Your guide drives you to an area he has located that allows good visual of approaching animals.  The guide parks the truck and everyone exits quietly and walks to the chosen rattling spot.  The hunter is situated to have the best views of any incoming deer and the rattling begins. 

There is technique to rattling - less is definitely more.  Sometimes scraping the ground and raking bushes are also incorporated into the rattling process.  A successful rattling session has at least one whitetail buck run into the area in an effort to see a good fight and locate a hot doe.  Many times however, several bucks show up and it is quite an exciting event. 

Rattling methods are usually successful most time of the hunting season.
