I used one last season with no luck. The only time I have ever called in a deer was with a doe bleat. I dont usually do this without seeing a deer but I was bored. I blew on this doe bleat a couple of times and I hear thrashing coming through the woods, so I stopped and 11 doe come running into my area. The leader of the group put on the brakes right in front of stand and was looking around to figure out where the deer was. It was quite fun to watch. I will still use the can this season as I do believe it will work.
