RE: Calling and other tactics
I used a doe bleat for the first time last year. Within minutes of my first time useing it I had deer coming to the stand. The deer winded me any began to run off. I hit the bleat again and they came right back to the same spot. The deer winded me a 2nd time and took off again. This time I let them go.5 minutes before getting out of the stand I hit the bleat one more time. Out pops a really nice 8 pointer. I was sold on the doe bleat after this experience.
Best of luck
