I agree that most of the time a call is not a great idea,but during the rut when their jacked up it seems to work at times.The Buck that responded to mine was in cover so thick I would never have seen him if he had not come to take a look. When he poped out he looked riled to a degree,head up,eyes focused and ears back a little. A doe was near by and I think he was a little ticked off at the prospect of another Buck being near.
