i hunt in Texas. central to east texas. In the past week i have seen a few, but it has been warm. one morning i tried a grunt, about 30 minutes later 3-6 does came by. i doubt they were responding to the call at all. Blew a grunt at them to see what they were up to, nothing.

Yesterday (10-18) saw a very small buck (spike), grunted at him and he didnt care. Bleated at him, he didnt care. he was just eating. So from what i have see, wait a few days at least for the calling in tx.
