I can ONLY speak to what I hear the deer in MY area doing.
That being said.....I've never heard a deer re-ceate the sounds the can makes, either (though I'm not saying they don't make them).
MY approach is this......the lessnoise I make, while hunting, the less likely I am to tip off the animals I'm hunting as to my location.
It's working, so far.
Whathe said. I tried using the growl and had bucks actually go the other way, maybe they were sceered. I preffer to let my standlocation choice based on scouting researchand nature take its course.
