As mentioned....a Grunt Call,Fawn/Doe Call and the little "Can" Caller is about all that's needed and use them sparingly.I have a pair of real Deer Antlers for "Rattling" and it has only did any good a few times!Some times Simple & Light is the way to go! ;) :D

I use calls everytime I hunt, the call I use is dictated by the time of year.. I have been using deer calls since the early 70s, the first call I ever used uas the called "the original Indian deer call" which was a bleat style call..

So to answer your question... No I don't hunt without calls..:deer:

The doe population should not really change the effectiveness of rattling unless your doing it the wrong time of the year.

I personally have never had a call work for me where I hunt, once I rattled a small buck in but anytime i have ever used I never saw anything until next hunting trip
some people i know have luck on occassion but if your seeing why blow where your sitting and get pegged
