Deer calls on drives . . .

I' ve got a situation where I, when on watch while my camp is doing a drive, have the opportunity to use a grunt call to stop deer that are running by me. Has anyone done this? Will it stop bucks, does, or both?

I realize that this is probably a silly question, in that it probably has/will, but I would like opinions on this.

Depends on how hard the drive is and many other factors a grunt call in the case of many drivers making tons of noise and deer running full on a grunt won' t stop them you might have as much luck saying stop or woh.

I carry a grunt call with me on every hunt. I have stopped deer in fields and on paths with them being pushed.

Dont bother with calls on a drive, it defeats the purpose of having a person on stand. If you need to stop a buck, just whistle, but be ready to shoot.
