    Im tapped out of cash and people hunting with me have been able to rattle in some bucks and I haven't even seen anything since the end of October. I can't afford to buy any rattling devices so I was wondering if there's a way to use things from home to re-create the sound of antlers?

    This is my frist year hunting and so far im the only one in the group to not get a deer lol help!

    Maybe borrow from the guysthat already got bucks? If you havent seen a deer snce october then you need to finf a better area to hunt or the rattling willl do no good. Look for a good scrape line or hunt on the edge of bedding with the right wind.

    Ask a buddy for some horns, cut off the brow tines, drill a hole in each base, tie rope on each end. Homemade rattleing horns.

    Make sure to cut off the brow tines, they sure hurt when you smash your hands with them.

    I agree. Or, you could take some wooden dowels and put them in a sock too.
