I have used it for a couple of years now. I think at this time of year it is a good call for does and fawns. They seem to be interested in making contact. When the rut starts I like to use it in combination with rattling and grunting. I think it intrigues the buck to see what the ruckus is and what the bucks are fighting over. I have had great luck with this, calling in as many as 7 different bucks in to me in a days time. Everything from 2 year olds to shooters have come in to check it out.
