Clay have you been in the adult beverages again?
I have had no luck rattlin but have called in 2 10 point bucks with a buck growler call. Whether rattlin or callin set up so you can see downwind. A deer will almost always approach from there. An open field, a river or dome obdtruction downwind is a good idea too. MAD made the call I have and it somes with an instructional DVD. One of the best 15 bucks you will ever spend.

Position yourself where you have a favorable wind. Make sure there are no deer around or close enough to catch your movements. I start with a light grunt call to see if anything is near. Wait 10 mins then lightly tap the tips together. Again wait 10-15 mins. You've now established there is nothing close. I then rap a few solid hits beam to beam to get the deers attention. Follow that with a loud rattle sequence every 20 mins. I again grunt between the sequences in case something sneaks in and I can't see it.

The best time to rattle is late Oct thru mid Nov, I've found. And mid morning on chilly days. I grunt befor during and after my rattling, also a bleet or two to mimic a fight over a doe. Then, After a 3 or 4 minute sequence sit very still. Deer are able to home in on a spot exactly where the sound was coming from, so they'll be looking for you. If i'm rattling to a deer i can see i do it from behind my tree so my movement is concealed. If nothing happens after 20 -30 mins. i rattle again. Often the second sequence will bringm in.
