im a big fan of the "sheep noise" a quick BAAAH..not drawn out like a sheep. but same general noise. i dont know where i picked that up but it works for me!! ive never had any run off. ive had maaaaaany running out of a drive stop at that noise. stopped a second too long lol. i had a group run out of a drive. slow down 5yds from me and hear my crack my flintlock hammer back and run. i did the noise again and they all froze at 25yds! too bad for them i had gloves on and bumped my hair trigger already set! i scared the chit outa the deer and myself. i got WHACKED with that brass buttplate HARD. i set it when they were at 5yds. but when they ran off i forgot it was already set and was moving the rifle their direction. big ole hole rigggggght below the deer i was getting ready to aim at lol
