Default RE: The trouble with scents & calls!!

FlDeerman,I agree with your statement " all season long" for the doe grunt.I hunt the month of November up here and thats late pre-rut and full-rut,at this time I want to draw a buck thats already looking for an estrous doe and the estrous bleat can fills the bill perfectly with the sounds of a doe looking for Male company.We can only shoot one deer up here, so I am focused on bucks and I don' t find a doe contact grunt to be as effective as the estrous bleat for drawing out wary bucks right in the peak rut period.If I bowhunted the month earlier I would probably add a doe grunt to my tools but for when I hunt(rut) and what I want to shoot(mature buck) the bleat can and some tending grunts are the sounds I want to make.Good Point though as early season requires different calls and scents to be realistic and have success attracting deer.
