Anybody use call/rattle for rutting mule deer?

[MT_Sourdough]

There are some good bucks hanging up in the juniper and cedar thickets.  I can't find them in there without getting busted by the herd.  Makes a guy wonder if he can pull them out with a call or rattle or both.

So I was wondering if anybody here has experience positive or negative tying to call rutting muleys?

I have rattled in non mature bucks. Satalites and bucks who thought they were the herd buck, but never the main dude. I say why not try. Stalking in thick junis is too tough for me. I would suggest trying too get with in 125 yards and sit in a concealed spot that has shooting lanes and sit and wait. When they are truly rutting the buck will be moving randomly around herding his gals and will sometimes move with in range. Most of the time you will not get a shot or will be so excited when you get one you will miss,but if bow hunting was easy rifle hunters would do it.

Blow a fawn in distress, you'll get the does to run right to you and typically the bucks will follow.

Yep. Both work.

I called in and killed a buck with a single burp once

The deer talker call generally will bring the does running. Get the wind in your face and blow the call just loud enough they hear it
