My last experience on one of Georgia's barrier islands was to rattle in the middle of the day. You have to have them hear the racket you are making. We knew where they were bedding, and set up cross wind from there. Shooter 75 yards down wind from the caller. We had two show out of four setups one day. No shots offered from the ground though. My buddy and I were rattling from our seperate tree stands and had a buck each come in. We made good from our stands. The buck doe ratio was nearly 1-1 though.
