Default RE: Calling late season deer??

I've only taken 2 big bucks in Dec. and I have never used a call during this time. I'm seeing a bit of chasing going on right now where some of the bigger bucks are checking the fawns. The second breeding period I believe. I've always been afraid to use calls during this time because the bucks seem to bemore cautious. Also, I think that dominance is pretty well established. I saw a big 4 1/2 that I'd seen earlier in Nov., turn away from an even bigger buck and let him have the fawn he was checking. This 4 1/2 was no slouch, a big 9 pt, 140+ with a busted off g-2. He wasn't afraid to fight. But he didn't even protest. So this is the reason I'm asking about calls. I thought about trying some light grunts along with a few can bleats, but wanted to get some input before I did.

Thanks for the replies. Oops... I'm in N. Ill..

BTW you guys are fast! Kind of answered this post before I got it posted!
