i always go hunting with my calls hanging around my neck i use modern mouth calls they work great. it takes many years to learn calling techniques or i should say be comfortable calling.get some videos on calling from different sources and you can blend them to your own style.when i lived in western new york i had great luck calling deer in not to say i always killed one but it's very exciting to in a way communicate with them. also when your going to your spot have that call ready especially if you know there deer around and if you jump a deer you can use that call to stop them just enough to look at them to see if you want to shoot.also if deer are blowing at you but not running and they don't know what you are use your call maybe fawn call to trick them they might walk right out and you can get a shot. another great deer hunter is roger raglin i picked up a lot of valuable information watching his videos. well hope this helps and good luck !
