RE: Bleat calls do they realy work?
If you ever get a chance to watch Primo's Mastering The Art Guide To Calling Deer DVD, do so.
They have two kids, around ages 6-8, calling with a fawn distress call. Doe after doe come rushing to the call. It was fun to watch 'em having fun with the calling.
It's a call best for early season at best, as does natural instincts will have them come in and see if they can't help the fawn..even if they know it's not their own fawn. Perhaps a bear has the fawn or it's stuck somehow, a doe will come running in to see if it can't help out in someway.
