rattling in pine thicket???

[olroy]

i have a lease in Harris county just south of waverly hall.
it has some creeks but mostly planted pines. i have always hunted hardwoods. are there any secrets to hunting in the big pines? i was thinking of rattling some in early gun season.

thanks for all advice.

deer love it in the pines once the hunting pressure is on. you have to keep in mind that deer tracks and trails arent easy to see in pine straw. dont count out hunting it just because you dont notice beat down trails. as far as rattling in it I would try to back myself up agaist a opening or some kind of obstruction. I think they will be more prone to getting down wind of you in pines.

I just rattle in the woods. Seems to work sometimes

Hunt within 75 yards of an edge...Dont hunt big mature pines unless there is browse under the canopy.

Rattling is so 2004 man , here in 2017 /2018 as long as you have a feeder or just dump a bag of corn out it brings them big boys out
