Calling is all about timing, if you call when they can clearly see that their are no other deer they are going to spook. Time of year is also important, calls can work at any time but they are most effective during the rut. Outside the rut bucks are much more cautious. The previous two posts had it right, you have to control your calling, much of the time "less is more."

The above is good advice. I have shot more deer than I can remember (no brag, just fact) and the only call that has worked for me is the buck "growler" type grunt call. I use the one by MAD and have called in 2 ten pointers and shot them both with Arrows in the last 2 years. You can see them both in my profile photos pg 3 or 4. Just click my name then photos. BTW not saying other calls don't work. They just didn't work for me. Keep in mind most deer will circle downwind smell you then leave.

The first time I used a call I had a coyote come directly to my stand. Years went by before I figured out what I had done. I had been making a doe distress call by calling to quickly and making short blats. I have a friend who says "dont callem till you seeum" soon you find out what works the best for you. And the rest of your time you keep silent.
