Rattle Bag Believer
Michael and his first deer with a bow.
I purchased a small deer rattle bag last year. I have used it quite a bit but I just wanted to let you know about my experience a few nights ago. 2 average bucks were about 300 yards away from my ground blind. It was starting to get dark so I decided to rattle. At first they glanced up at me and kept eating on the grain field. Then to my surprise they started walking slowly towards me, looking up, eating, still walking. I rattled again. One of them sprinted towards me and stops at about 60 yards. The other slowly creeps up. One hand is on my bow and the other on the rattle bag. I give a few small rattles and one comes in at 40 yards. My bow is now drawn but the buck wont turn broadside. After about a minute (seemed like an hour!) the buck turns broadside and I hit it solid with a clean passthrough. It walks about 50 yards and expires.
I'm just writing to say thanks for such a great product! The rattle bag worked great for me! I wasn't a believer in deer calling until now.
Without your fine product, I'm sure I would not of harvested by first ever deer with a bow.
