If you're considering using this vocalization for bowhunting in the hopes of arrowing a doe...please reconsider.

What you are doing is fooling a doe into thinking that a fawn (or HER fawn) is in distress. What you're hoping for is that out of reflex, instinct, or whatever, she'll come running in to try to "rescue" the distressed fawn.

What you've now got is one extremely wired and jumpy doe that's on high-alert for danger. She'll most likely be jumping, hopping around, stomping, etc. She's not going to stand still, and she's probably going to go berzerk as soon as she hears the bow go off. If you do happen to run an arrow through her, she's going a country mile.

I double-lunged a doe earlier this year under similar circumstances...she went 350 yards. And when they cover that much ground, that fast, they don't exactly lay down a heavy bloodtrail. It was a loooong and tough tracking job. Never again.

For gun hunting (since you can drop them on the spot) and photography, I'd use it. Not for bowhunting.
