Many die hard hunters overlook calling deer. They believe it only works in other states with lopsided deer populations.

Hunters who have experimented with calling – either rattling antlers or a grunt call with no success automatically file away that it doesn´t work.

"Calling doesn´t work every time you try it," claims Jerry Peterson of Woods Wise Calls, "but if you give it a few tries it will work and will become one of your favorite methods for hunting deer."

Calling can be effective throughout the season even early season; however, you can´t blow a doe- in- heat bleat call in mid September and expect a buck to come to it.

Calls serve many purposes – as an attractant of the opposite sex – calls such as doe in heat bleats, same sex calls like grunt calls or rattling antlers. Other calls pique a deer´s curiosity and now one call imitates a prime food source. Of course, I´m talking about the new call, The Kruncher by H-S Specialties, which imitates deer eating acorns.

H-S Specialties pro staffer, Alex Rutledge of Birch Tree, Missouri claims The Kruncher has a calming effect on deer. Even after missing a shot on a great Iowa buck, the buck spooked and ran off; however, Rutledge was able to calm the deer down. Later, the same afternoon it came back into range giving Rutledge a second chance which he capitalized.

When calling deer, it is imperative to use a cover scent as deer have a habit of circling downwind.

Another aspect of fooling all of a deer´s senses is using a decoy when calling deer. Seasoned hunters that keep decoys in their deer hunting strategy playbook warn first timers to brace themselves, as one buck might skulk its way toward the decoy while the next might charge the decoy knocking it to the ground.

One word of advice, use caution when transporting your decoy to your stand area. Drape hunter orange material over the decoy and be sure to set up out of sight from roads that cross the property either private or public.
