Grunt call and doe bleat "can".
They work.
Have called in bucks in bow and gun.
With both.
Have rattled too, worked for a few yrs until everybody around my spot started that BS opening day of bow.
Think the deer went deaf.
Last yr, went out around Halloween. Snuck in at first light, waited 15 mins and did a couple of grunt calls.
Waited 15 mins and did two more.
See what was in thicket next to me.
15 mins later hit the can call. Couple bleats.
8 pointer at 10 yards.
Year before saw a buck way out in picked corn.
slid into same stand.
Grunt called a couple times. Did again 15 mins later.
15 after that, here he comes.
Circled around, 75 yards.
If I had a decoy I might have gotten him closer, he was looking for who made the call and seeing nothing, moved off.
Then a fat 6 pt walked under me looking around.
He left and I bleat called him back, to 10 yards.
Then he left and a forky showed up.
Fun morning.
I pretty much stay the hell out of my ticket spot until Halloween.
Kids hunted next door, rattling, grunting, scents.............we did not see many deer.
Property sold, guy that hunts it is conservative.
We all see more deer now.
Gee, wonder why?
