Rattling Patterns

[MossySNPR]

Was just wondering how you all rattle in a sequence. Like what do you do, clash them, then just crank them together for 30 seconds? I'm just wondering because I've never rattled before but I'm hunting an area this year that I should be, right now the antlers I want to use are a small 6 and a small 4 point.

start off by rubbing a tree with one of the antlers and then clash the antlers together hard. This will get the attention of any buck within ear shot. Bucks don't just tinkle antlers together so make it sound like two big bucks that are mad.

don't really have any certain pattern but i rub mine on a tree and then rattle them together. Nothing special but it seems to bring in the bucks.

I start off soft in case theirs somthin close by .If nothin shows within 3-5 min. I give the horns a loud crack along with some grunting lots of clashing and hard rubbing then a short break and do it over again.
Wain 15-20 min. try again They may charge in lookin for a fight or sneak in down wind each encounter will be diff.

Buy a video or tape.Have you ever seen 2 bucks fighting?Or heard them?I have.Ive seen a buck on a hot doe.He followed her grunting almost every 3 steps.Another buck came out to his grunting.Well the fight was on.But they did start softly with tinkling & then got real serious.Pound the ground with one of the antlers as if hoof stopping.Also rake the grass & shrubs during sequences.

Dont really have apattern, but usually start off with a little grunting and maybe a few bleats from the can. Been using a rattle bag, duration of calling sequences vary.
