RE: new guy at the site
Welcome to the site!
I have had a lot of success using calls. Actually, I have tried many calls and only had results with one in particular, but it works great. Never had a buck grunt work for me, but I have had many responses to a doe bleat. Some deer (especially small bucks) will shy away from dominant buck grunts, so I don' t use those. Doe bleat or contact grunts are all I use.
