Bucks respond to rattle bag! Georgetown/Leander

[Gtownhunter]

So yesterday, my 5yr old daughter is with me and we are sitting in my pop up on a cedar flat that opens up into a large oak grove. We are sitting there and she is digging through my hunting pack and pulls out my rattle bag. "Hey...whats this"? I told her and she says...."Well...Im gonna call one up" I was like heck, what would it hurt. She racks it a few times and I show her how to roll it back and fourth. She messed around with it for about a minute and I told her to set it down. Within in 2min, I caught a glint of something out about 50 yds. I looked closer and I saw horns bouncing thorough the cedar. The little 8pt stopped about 30yds out and started to feed on some corn I tossed out. Within a few seconds, another little 8 came down the same trail and ran directly out into the opening. Both spooked pretty quick after that and took off into the brush. She was pumped and I was a little shocked.... . Good times...

Maybe I should have tried that this am in Burnet. I only had 1 doe come in at 7am. I have a 10pt on trail cam that had been coming in daily at 8:15am the 9th-15th. Will look at trailcam pics in a few to see what his pattern is for this weekend!

She is gonna want to mess with that thing everytime now Sounds like she had a great time.

Bet she don't forget that anytime soon! Bet she don't let you forget neither.

Rattling should work a little earlier this year. Have seen several bucks going at each other pretty good as early as two weeks ago.

Sounds like fun times!!!

That's awesome, she probably had a blast doing that and seeing the bucks come in.
