RE: Fawn Distress Calls
 

I hunted with my brother-In law last year & he used one not long after we set up. Let me tell you! You could hear that doe coming through the woods long before she got to us. So if you want a doe to fill your freezer early then I'd use it!

RE: Fawn Distress Calls
 

Only once, but based on this I might again. I used one out of boredom during the afternoon lull. Had a doe run straight at me to within 4 feet, she came a long way to get to me as well. Two lessons learned from me here, one was not to put my bow down while hunting in a spot I couldn't get to quickly and the second...distress calls might just work...if you want a doe, it could be the ticket...

RE: Fawn Distress Calls
 

Never worked here in Kansas and I know lots of guys that tried them. They scare the bejeezus out of the deer here when they here them.

RE: Fawn Distress Calls
 

Never had one come in to a distress call, but have stopped them with it. I have tried it while spotting from my truck and have stopped bucks and does that were moving.

they work trust me!!!!! on does anyways. Invest in one and you'll be glad you did. Just be ready cause man I had the shakes bigg time when the does came achargin in

RE: Fawn Distress Calls
 

I have used them in the past. Work well. I have always had good luck bringing does back once I have seen them. Fun to watch them get all worked up. I haven't used it this year yet, but plan to tonight.

RE: Fawn Distress Calls
 

Okay those of you who have used them successfuly, is the call long and loud, short and loud, long and low? You get what I am asking, is it similar to a doe bleat? Do you do it once, 3 times in a row? I have used doe bleats on buck and doe with success, but I have not used a distress call.

RE: Fawn Distress Calls
 

tazman just think of a baby crying. Try to imitate that into your fawn bleat call. I think, that it's really the easiest call because if a doe hears what she thinks is a fawn in trouble in the least bit, she'll come running. *my opinion*

So, just vary it up a bit. First try go medium length and LOUD. then immediately after that do a long one and loud. so maybe try 2 calls in your first sequence. then give it a bit....half hour or so I guess and try 3 calls in your sequence. Just play with it man and try what works for you. good luck.

Never tried it but have friends that swear by it.

RE: Fawn Distress Calls
 

like anything else they work sometimes & sometimes they don't.

RE: Fawn Distress Calls
 

baldknobber is correct in the way of using it, but does come to look very quickly, it is a motherly thing, they will if a fawn is truely suffering come in to KILL it, they will come fast and very cautious at the same time. they work great this time of year in Va. not alot of deer will come but the more aged Does will. I have used mine but tend not to much anymore. They do work, but if you use it durring regular season a buck will hear it and be in the next county by time you can stop your first toot on it, Bucks want nothing to do with danger or lost fawns.~Ben
