This past year in Maine I chased a buck into some thick green growth. When I was in the thick of it, this buck started grunting continuosly, every few seconds. I grabbed my tube and started grunting back. This enabled me to pinpoint his location and plan my approach. We were only 30-40yds apart but way too thick to see anything. Decided to sprint down the deer path when I heard walking. As I busted through some pine there he was trailing his doe.

Figured he was "tending grunting", but I figured my grunting back kept that doe there just long enough for me to find em.

I've never just cold called, but was worried that I might tip em off with grunt after grunt......though it seemed to work.

Guess there's no one way to do it.......just play the cards that are delt to ya.

.....yes I did get the deer by the way
