I often hunt hoofed game in the bush by easing along, making as little noise as practical, and when I move I try to move like a deer/elk/moose would. Uneven footsteps, short pauses, looking and listening in-between. I can't walk silently, so I try to sound like another critter. I sometimes call like the game I'm after, using communication calls not breeding challenges. I've had many animals come check me out while doing this. It's one of my favourite ways to hunt. I used the method successfully again last whitetail season. A little fork horn buck sneaked in and was peering at me from 30 meters and I had a nice easy open shot at a standing animal.
