Default Mouth Bleat let's discuss it

Ok well it's been a hot topic this year. Let's discuss the pros and cons of stopping a deer.

I for one try and gage the body language and the reason for movement, browsing, nervous movement, going from point "A" to point "B", scrape/rub tending, etc.
If it's typical browsing or slow casual movement, I'll try and let them stop on their own. If I need to give a bleat I'll give a quick quiet Ma..if it doesn't work I'll go louder. But it's short.
To me it's like a gun shot..fire one and 3 people will say it come from a different direction, fire 2 or one longer one and it's much easier to pin point. I don't want the deer to figure out my location. I just want to give a loud enough noise that he says..huh did I hear something??

Yes we watch a lot of hunting shows and most all use a bleat of some sort. But bare in mind they want the deer looking at the camera, when the shoot is released. It makes better footage. Most of us don't need that, we need as relaxed a deer as possible to make a good shot.

Anyway my 2 cents..what say you?
