RE: WHAT TYPE OF CALL
Thank you,
The place I hunt is like getting a cottontail out of a sqare mile of nine foot high blackberry bushes. Many hunters strike out daily. LOTS of signs but the deer go deep inside of the cottonmouth infested cypress domes. After striking out so many times I began to get to the Wildlife Management gate early and ask questions from the few who seem to never strike out. They all used calls religiously. Like you said though, there is a chance on scaring them but if you read the comments on this site many have scored. I plan on giving rattling a good shot next year. I got a lot of great advice from the other hunters on this site. Confidence is number one though. Live in such a way that you and the Lord are best friends. He will guide you in all your ways even deer hunting. "He's a friend that sticks closer than a brother."
God Bless You,
Chuck
