How many of you actually stop a buck by mouth grunting, whistling, or yellingto him? Maybe I'm in the minority here, but the last thing on my mind is alerting a buck to my presence. I'll take my chances that he will stop on his own eventually where I can get a shot off or we'll meet another day. Seems to me like 99% of the hunts I watch on TV everyone has to "stop" the buck. Maybe it just looks cool for the cameras.
I hunt on the ground... there is no way I'm going to alert any deer to my position. I generally kill themright on top of me. Definitely do more harm then good by trying to stop them. [:'(]
