Each call has it's purpose and time. You have to decide which is right for the situation.

I will say that fawn distress is probably to late. Estrus may be to early unless you are near
rut. My guess is you are getting close to rut not quite but close. So I would use an agressive contact
call but combine it with a little doe scent. Maybe half doe pee and half tinks 69. Just enough to
get any bucks attention.
Good Luck!

Kinda depends on where you are, here in Indiana they haven't started the chase phase yet, so a fawn distress call would be a better choice than an estrous bleat. Another week or so and the positions will probably reverse. Contact grunts are rarely a bad choice.

I saw a guy tagging one yesterday here in Massachusetts who said he called it in with a fawn bleat.
