Everyone knows that rattling is a great tool to have in your hunting bag-o-tricks, but did you know you can be more effective then just banging your horn together? Hi I'm John Stallone TV personality and professional hunter, my job allows me to learn tips and tricks from the best of the best hunters in the world.
Over the years I have acquired many tips relating to rattling deer in and I have been able to test all of them in the field.
I have found that in order to be the most effective you can be you must create the whole elusion of two bucks fighting.
Here is a sure fire way to increase your success while calling in bucks.
First  I like to tie a branch to a string and connect it to my treestand.
when I tug on this string it will simulate the rustle an bustle of two bucks fighting.
I then incorporate the a rattling bag, I don't use a big bag, the old tale of using bigger brings bigger bucks is not a true statement unless your from Texas ( everything works in Texas) a little joke there.
Actually not so much a joke as it is a reality bucks in TX seem to respond to calls more frequently then in the rest of the US.
Sorry a little side note back to the lecture at hand.
I use a medium to small bag, I will also include the use of a grunt tube, so now I am creating all the major sounds you would find in a buck fight.
Now to add to the elusion I will spray "young Buck" scent I like a aerosol type scent to disperse into the air rapidly.
  Lastly to complete the whole facade I like to use a decoy typically a medium sized buck fitted with an moving tail.
