Rob said Rob, not to argue with you (cause you know more about this than me) but in Nov. issue of Peterson' s Bowhunting in an article titled " Soft-Sell Whitetail Calling" , on pg. 75 it says quote: Another important bleat is the " estrous bleat" indicating a desire to breed, which has a " louder" two-tone call with added emphasis. Then it goes on in to describe an estrous bleat, how it sounds etc, in the next several paragraphs.

I am not trying to argue with you because I don' t really know if there is such a thing or not but I have read a fair amount of detail on such a bleat in Peterson' s and in North American Whitetail in the past. I will also be the first to admit that I think alot of what we read in magazines might be a little truth and a little bull combined.

But to the topic at hand, I bought " The Can" last year after a buddy had great sucess calling in does with it. I tried it out and called in does and some small bucks on several occasions. I actually called in a group of 4 or 5 does and I ended up shooting one of the does for my first bowkill. I turned the can over softly about 3 times and 30 seconds later this group of does came trotting in at attention and appeared to be looking for the source of the call. Once they didn' t see anything they went at ease and started milling around. I have no idea if it is really an " estrous" call or just a common communication call between deer but I' ve been very happy with the results.
