Well everyone else is correct, you need to scout and be in the correct spot to begin with if you dont want to use a call. Another option would be to set up some scent to possibly help draw a deer in, but scouting and being properly prepared is your best bet.

Although everyone got it right with the scouting and the 25-06(Clay Cooper), you can also use different scents. Doe esturs, active scrape, ect. Also a decoy wouldnt be a bad idea. Ive killed 5 deer so far(im just over 14years old) ive never used calling. the only thing ive used is doe estrus and it really works. Plus you have to play the wind. Also Scent Killer works the best.

Find a bottleneck and set up downwind with good shooting lanes. Another favorite is a stream with high banks and few places to cross. Got my 17 pointer at just such a place.
If you are hunting near a food source scout well to find where deer are entering the field. The best buck will almost always enter last, maybe after dark. To get him you need a stand on the trails he is using and you must not alert any of the early arriving doe's or the jig will be up. The best way to keep them from smelling you is to stay downwind of any deer.

Scout the trails, de-scent and wait. During rut I do hang out a doe in estrus scent tab and I have also gotten bucks to come from a couple hundred yards away with one simple doe bleat. It makes them think about it and come your way on the trail you are hunting. The best bet is to be on an active trail.
