I did this on my first hunt last year when I had a Doe about 60 yards out. I did not use a distress call. I did a real soft cry and she came over to investigate. Being a young Doe she fell for it and it cost her a ride in my pickup. I was kind of surprised it worked but light was fading fast and I figured I had nothing to loose. If anything she was just curious and she was totally relaxed as well.
