Rattling the antlers is a great method to bring in big bucks. This method can also be used in the field for simulating a fight among two bucks. This will allow you to attract big bucks by controlling the timing and intensity of your rattling. In addition to rattling, you can also use scents or buck lures. Here are some tips when rattling antlers. These tips may be helpful in landing that trophy buck.
Using antlers to call in big bucks
When rattling antlers, the bucks will often respond by hitting their antlers against each other. This mimics how subdominant bucks fight. The sounds are so chaotic that different tines should be striking one another repeatedly. The rattling should include stomping and rustling as well. Rattling in the early season is less effective than rattling during peak rut because of the delicate meshing of antlers. Early season rattling should also be light and gentle; peak rut calls should be made.
Use a rattling cry
It is possible to lure a big buck through thick cover by using a rattling cry. The deer will most often approach the hunter from downwind, so it is important to place yourself where the wind is blowing into the field. Your stand should be placed upwind of any river, bluff or other difficult-to-cross areas.
Timing for rattling
Rattling antlers may be a great way to lure a deer, but timing must be perfect. Hellickson's study found that rattling before the rut was ineffective and that rattling after the rut was more effective. This is due to the fact that the bucks who responded to rattling within the rut had larger and more mature bucks.
Use rattling scents and buck lures
Rattling antlers can be a great way to draw bucks to your stand. You can combine these tools with different scents and lures. You can get Primos' Fightin'horns and Hunter's Specialties' Heavy Horns Rattle Bags. These items will make enough noise for deer, and can even be used to help them find you.
Using a commercial rattling device
If you are a business owner you know how important is it to communicate your message effectively without confusing customers. While noise is a huge concern, commercial rattling devices can help you achieve that goal. The noise generated can be irritating and lead to customer dissatisfaction. The device can help you overcome these problems and ensure that your customers are happy with your product.

How To
How to select the Best Deer Rifle
Your hunting style, budget and weather conditions all play a role in choosing the right firearm. The most important thing is what type of game your hunting. A scope will be necessary if you want to hunt whitetails. If you don’t want to carry a case, you can either use a bolt action rifle or opt for a semiautomatic rifle. There are several types of rifles available in the market. Many people prefer the feel and control of a lever-action rifle, while others prefer a more modern pump-action model. You choose the model that you like best. Before you buy a model, however, there are several things to keep in mind.
First, decide what type of game you want. Do you want to hunt small game such as squirrels or large animals such as deer? You may need to choose a different weapon depending upon the size of the animal that you are hunting. For example, if you are planning to hunt deer, then you should look at a.308 caliber rifle. This will enable you kill larger animals than if you hunt them with a.223 rifle. It is important to consider the cost of a rifle when choosing a rifle. A good quality rifle will cost much less than a cheap one. You should also ensure that the rifle is compatible to the ammunition you are going to use. Make sure the barrel length allows you to hit your target from afar.
Another important consideration is the type of terrain where you intend to hunt. Are you going to hunt in open fields or dense forests? A long-range rifle is best if you plan to hunt in open fields. You should choose a short-range rifle if your hunting is close to trees. It is important to be familiar with the terrain where you will hunt.
Last but not least, you should always check the condition of the rifle before purchasing it. It is important to ensure that the rifle is maintained well. Make sure the trigger works correctly. You should inspect the trigger for signs of corrosion or rust. Examine the stock and finish of the rifle. Finally, test fire the rifle to see how accurately it shoots. These are all steps that will help you decide if the rifle suits you.
