I have had a huge success with Deer Calls. I have used the fawn bleat in early bow season, use caution while on the ground, I was hunting on the edge of a field in some high grass on almost got stampeded by about 7 or 8 does. The next time I used it I called up two does they came within 10 yards of me, and I was on the ground against a tree without a blind or cover scent.

I also called a cowhorn spike and a 3 point within 3 yards of me from the ground. I saw them both on my way back to the house while crossing a field. I saw them and immediately sat on the ground, I grunted 4 or 5 times and no response. So then i grunted hard and loud, it didn't even sound like a deer it was a blown call but it was loud enough to get there attention. After that i made several rapid short grunts they started trotting towards me, once they got about 50 yards away they stopped. I covered the end of the grunt call and called again to make it sound further away and then I did my doe in a can bleat while it was still in my bag, they started trotting towards me again. I then realized I better get ready. I shot the cow horn spike in the head at maybe 3 yards. This was sitting on the ground in the open no cover scent, with my marlin 30/30. This was in Lousisiana on private land. The spike was 2 1/2 years old. I figured I needed to cull him, actually i needed to cull both of them.I have had great success and sometimes totally ignored.
