Ok, so most years I hunt blacktails in the Oregon Cascades in the first half of October. I have never really tried rattling because it seems too far before the rut. But this year about the 8th, I glassed up two mature bucks with locked horns, pushing each other around (of course, after I got to shooting range they were gone).
But it got me wondering…if I’m seeing this kind of activity in early October, could rattling be a viable tactic? Anyone have success rattling at this time of year?
