The "Tending Grunt" as cdnwrangler mentioned is a awesome call for mature bucks(I refer to it as a huffing grunt but basically .25-.50sec short successive soft grunts 4-6 grunts in total). It will not only stop them but bring them running, as will rattling in good doe to buck ratio lands. As to immature bucks a fawn, doe bleat or grunt or light rattling(like sparring) is the safest bet. For does like mention a fawn bawl or a doe grunt will sometimes work. To stop any deer any vocalization will work but I will mostly just grunt. I am not a big believer in blind calling unless rattling and will never call to a deer I will not harvest, as it does give your location away. A single toot you may get away with it but anymore and they'll be all eyes on deck.

I think you have the right mind set, not every deer will respond to a call if you have nothing to lose try and find what works for your area.
