Have any of you tried "rattling" for bulls during the rut?
I have been thinking about trying this but not sure how well it works on elk.
If you do rattle, do you use antlers or that "rattle cage" or some other type of call and what is the best time to do it? I would assume pre/early rut before they get their cows while establishing dominance, cause they won't want to lose their cows later on.
