Default Weird Morning...Any Help Appreciated!

Went out this morning for a late archery hunt.....got into my stand a light and after about an hour and half, 8 doe (all that is in season until 12/26) came through about 60yds away, they would stop to my grunt calls but would not come closer. Then after about another hour, another big doe came from behind me about 50 or so yards away and same thing. Finally, later around 11, saw another doe about 125 yds. away, would react to the call by pulling up its head but same thing would not come closer....

Any ideas on what I should attempt to do tomarrow?
Thanks for the help guys...

I wouldn't grunt at does. The last thing they want to do is get chased around by another buck. Try the fawn bleat or find a better stand location and don't call at all.

I agree, and if I were you I wouldnt bring the grunt call. Just have to be in the right spot with does, but decoys do work well for bringing does closer.

More like try 100lbs of corn. 20lbs doesn't last two days on the land I hunt, they'll wipe it out in no time.
