Try Grunting AFTER the Shot:
Save yourself time tracking. Immediately after I shoot a deer with my bow, I grunt about three times using a grunt tube. Often this will slow the deer down; sometimes it will even stop the deer. Either way it will keep the deer from running hundreds of yards. Last year, using this tactic, I stopped my buck at 30 yards after the shot. After looking for the source of the grunt for 2 minutes the buck expired.
I heard this before too. Except the person I was reading about was using a doe bleat instead of the grunt. Their reasoning was, if it is a younger buck that you just shot, the grunt may make them think it's a dominant buck and may intimidate them and scare them off.
