Remember, you're inviting them to dinner.
I picked up a good video by Wayne Carlton called "they come to eat". Very good video, but he explained time and again to be ready, because they are doing just that...looking for something to eat!
If I set up on the ground I'll be packing my 300 Win Mag. If in a tree I'd like the option of a bow first, rifle second. Where I am hunting is very open terrain, so I feel pretty confident I'll see 'em before I even start calling. I'm just hoping calling will bring them in for a closer shot.
