i blow through the hole on the can as well and use short sounds.....i have heard deer calling many times in the woods....the bleat when they get lost for the herd...normally a small doe or when they gather around something to eat. Opening day in pa, I cut off a branch to get my climber into position. The 8 deer came out and started to eat the branch right below my stand.....i heard one of the does bleat2-3 timesand two buttons were grunting and playing, all right below my stand.....biggest doe got it though
