Go in scent free and quietly.. dont use attractant scents, dont rattle, dont growl, dont bleat... use a grunt call only if you see a buck that isnt headed your way and you want too turn it.

Seriously I know alot of guys who use the same things you do and arehunting good areas,, they have so-so luck,, too much commotion I think!!
I know other guys who just sneak into places scent free,, climb into a tree, remain quiet and motionless, and they kill more bucks then the guys who use all those things!

I have never seen a deer 20' up a tree fighting, laying scents down, bleating or grunting!

but hey "if it works for you" do it!

i assume you are talking about nc and if so get in there on a scrape and set up or on the edge of a feild ona well used deer path and if all else fails put some corn in the feild and intercept the deer on the way to the corn you dont have to hunt over bait to put it to good use

yA i never call when im in a tree stand unless im bored and havent seen anything but when i hunt from a ground blind I do just about everything If i where you i would just wait until doing anthing until you start seeing some trophy/ adult deer.

GOOD LUCK
