I've tried it the past few years and I can't say yet that it's worked at all for me. I'm still experimenting, though. Contact grunts and general social grunt are a different thing, though.

You can try it, just know that many times out of maturnal instincts when they come in they come in mach 1. I saw video of it and it was nuts. The guy calling almost got run over by the does. I would have been nervous if I were him. They were feet from him running full bore.

I called in a few this way. I have a fawn bleat that I use for Yote hunting and two weeks ago I jumped on while squirrel hunting. She ran about 50 yards, and when she jumped I knew she didn't get a real good look at me. I sat down immediately, and called to her with the fawn bleat. She came back and stood 20 yards away broadside trying to make out what I was. I also called in a nice spike several years ago with one, I saw a doe in a field several hundred yards away from my stand. I got down out of the stand and setup next to a tree stump and called to her. She wouldn't come in, but next thing I know there is a deer running in full bore behind me. I looked back and it was a spike only about 15 yards away. He saw me draw on him and when I hit the release, he was gone before the arrow got there....[:'(]

They do work though, I would imagine the early season is the best time to use one too.

I've had deer respond different ways to it. Ignore it, run in, run away, look in my direction curiously. I have had good luck with it mostly though. I always carry one. Sometimes it helps draw in those does that are just out of range. They also bring in the coyotes so be ready for a quick shot!
