Most of the deer I saw before this weekendcame in to calling/rattling sequences. I've hadthe best luck with rattling/grunting together rather than grunting alone.

I have had several small bucks come in to the can call this year but had my best success with the Primos Buck Roar. I took my ten pointer last week about 10 minutes after blind calling with the Buck Roar and called in a few other bucks in the days before.

Last Monday and Tuesday, I rattled and had buck after buck come in. All in all, I rattled approximately 10 times and saw bucks within 5 minutes of 8 of those rattling sequences. A few sequences brought a few bucks. Mostly 1.5 year olds, but a few shooters. The buck I ended up getting came in 5 times. Yes, 5 times.

I've had a TON of response from calling. Last week alone I had a 4 point come in and I can called it and it turned and walk to 10 yards. The next day I had a 7 point come about 50 yards out, I can called it, no response. Grunted at him and he jumped and turned and trotted into about 8 yards. A few weeks prior to that I rattled in 4 different bucks on one day from one spot. I've had tons of response from rattling this year as well.

Oh, and yesterday I rattled and had a little 4 point come in. I let him walk by and then decided I'd see if I could call him back. I got the grunt out, gave two soft grunts, and he turned around and walked back in to around 15 yards. Up until this year I wasnt sure that calls worked, but this year has definitely changed my mind.

Grunted in a nice eight this morning. He came in on a rope till about 60 yards and then got nervous since he didn't see anything. I usually have pretty good success with the grunt at the right time of year but the can doesn't seem to produce for me for some reason.

Havent had any luck blind calling but have grunted in a few small bucks. Nothing has come to the can or rattlingyet.

If I have very limited time in the woods (like this year) I'm really vocal with the calls. I blind call ALOT. Doesn't always work, but its fun when it does.

Greg, Friday out i Ogle county I had some success with calls. In the morning I had a 2 small 8pts a 4pt come in to rattling and grunting this happened about 7:30am. At 8am I had a big 8pt probably 3 1/2 yr old come in 10min after rattling and grunting. He saw my decoy and started walking away so I grunted at him with the buck roar and theat turned him towards the decoy with the hair on his back bristling up. I stopped him and clipped a branch and hit him in the leg,I lookeda long time but no luck. Hopefully it wasn't a lethal hit.

Friday at 3pm I saw a nice tall 8pt 130-140 class at about 120 yards, I rattled and he came on a string to 60yds and he froze looking for the bucks fighting. I grunted with the buck roar and that made him jump the fence and give me a 40yd shot which he jumped the string. I've never seen a deer drop as much as he did.

Not much luck with calls. I got one buck to turn around and come back to me with the can, but he didn't commit.

Over the years I have had bucks looking for the source of the call. I actually had 3 bucks show up this year after a few bleats and a series of roars and grunts. It was cool for sure to see 3 bucks show up at one time.
