Antler rattling is an effective way to call in trophy whitetail bucks during the rut. This technique involves using a set of antlers or a rattling bag to mimic the sound of two bucks fighting. When a buck hears this sound, he will often come to investigate, thinking that he has a chance to defend his territory or win a mate.

Antler rattling can be a very effective way to call in bucks, but it is important to use the technique correctly. In this article, we will cover everything you need to know about antler rattling, from choosing the right equipment to using the technique effectively.

Choosing the Right Equipment
