I wont go into the woods without a grunt call
Late October Ill also bring a doe bleat call.

Called in many unseen deer w both, and used to have good luck rattling too ( until people around me started doing it....starting Oct 1 ....think the deer went stone deaf from all that racket ).

Too many think they can be stinky and noisy and after 5 minutes of sitting still think a call should be expected to perform magic.

A call is a tool. You still gotta be sneaky and smart
