Ever hear a buck grunting?

Not gonna say it will work, but you might even try a doe bleat. I had a mature doe give a communication bleat to its youngun last evening in the stand.

I guess if it happens again, I'll try the doe bleat. I'm kind of wondering if the rattling was too much. I got busted by a big boy on Mon. night that I brought by rattling. If he was the deer I heard (which very well could be in such a small area), I wonder if the rattling spooked him?
