Default other animals that sound like doe contact call?

Alright so I keep hearing this sound in the woods taht sounds like a doe contact call. It is always about 35-40 yards out and just beyond the thick trees. I can never see the deer so i was wondering if there was any other animal that makes a sound similar to it that i am maybe mistaking it for. When i hear one call it is usually followed by another one in a different area of the woods and then they go back and forth for about 5 mins and then it is silent.

First welcome to the forums if I haven't welcomed you already.

Second, it doesn't say where you hail from so the animals might be different where you live compared to PA but I'd say it's likely your hearing a contact call. Deer are very vocal animals and especially between does and their offspring. It could very well be likely your hearing a family unit.

I can't immediately think of an animal that would mimic a whitetail contact call but like I said, you may have species that we don't have in PA......

Very good question tho. I do know when it comes to turkeys, everything in the woods sound like them when your straining to hear them...LOL
