Got to a stand at 3:40 (yeah, yeah, don't say it!) and waited twenty minutes before rattling. In twenty minutes after rattling I saw the top of a deer head(doe) at 180 yds. In ten minutes it started to walk off so I rattled some more and it stopped and tried to figure out where the noise was coming from. Another doe appeared. Five minutes later it started to wander into the woods again so I rattled again and blew a bleat. One came throttling right towards me. Stopped about 80 yards and wouldn't come closer after some more bleating. When it looked away I did one rattle. It turned and went into the wood and came out half an hour later about 50 yards away from where it went in and sixty yards away. She looked around for ten minutes and walked off. Bugger! I wanted to fill a doe tag and take the edge off!
You should have used the Fawn In Distress call!
