Rifle season in KS is in Dec, long after the rut. I keep a grunt call in my stand, and practice the short, quick, grunt to stop a buck if necessary, but I have never used it.

A few years back, I went deer hunting with my son on our farm. He walked to the honey hole and I set up my folding chair next to some big hay bales about 20yds from the truck. I'm sitting on my chair, with my rifle leaning on a hay bale, and my big coffee cup resting on my knee, in all of my orange glory. A doe with her fawn slipped up on me before I knew it. I sat there frozen for about 20 min with her looking straight at me from as close as 20'. She paced back and forth, just watching me, and finally just walked off with the fawn. Something that I will never forget. Life is good.
