well guy's, we all have our own systems, what works for some want work for others. With that being said, I bought into the ploy. I used it this year for 3 days and ended up pulling a buck from a thicket. I have to say I'm not 100% sure it was the call but I think it was. The deer wasn't huge but it was his territory and he was coming out to see if it was still his. Just remember that all calls are made to call the hunter first. Game has been killed for years without any calls or scents.
