I have had great luck with my HS TruTalker grunting bucks in at any time of year, even on the heavily used public land I hunt. I don't think it ever negatively affected a buck that I observed. I do not rattle though.
I think my TruTalker brought in the last 3 bucks on a string. Two were mature bucks.
