Default RE: To call or not to call....

ness5575 and I have had some luck with it so it seems to work. I got to the point of calling only deer I see or hear because I can then judge how they react.. And the reaction is always different..
You ask about a specific sequence. It seems to vary. Early season I call totally different then during the rut. Early I use the grunt more as a "hello" and watch the way they act.. If they respond by ignoring or turn away from me I get pushy with them and try to stir 'em up a bit.. If they act curious and come toward me I give them one or two in there face then turn the call away from them and give them the sense that I moving or trying to keep some distance from them..
During the rut and post, I adjust the call from "young buck" to "doe" and try to make it sound as if I have a smaller buck chasing a hot doe...
I stay away from calling to the does. I've done the fawn bleets and doe calls to have them do nothing but turn and run.. I prefer to let them hang out or pass through and act as my "decoys"..

I'll get on here tommorrow and let you know the name of that call..
