Last year I used a small grunt call. When I say small I am referring to the volume it produces. I honestly just mimicked what I had seen on TV and what felt good out there. After a few minutes, no kidding, I had a nice little 8-point come at a fast walk over the ridge about 80-90 yards out and came right to me. Took the shot at 30 yrds. Last year was my first year to try using it. I'll be using again this year.
