RE: grunting, rattleing in ny
I will agree that it's a matter of timing. You can rattle and grunt all you want, if the deer are not around close enough to hear it, they ain't coming. On the flip side if there are deer in the vicinity, you will probably get to see them if you look carefully enough whether you are calling or not. I myself use only my eyes and ears when I am on a stand. If there are deer around I will hopefully see them. I think you are more likely to give your location away to them by calling then you would just sitting still.
