I've had terrible luck this year. Two days ago, I sat in my chair at my blind and set my bow down to put on my gloves. When I looked up. There was a grizzled old buck staring at me from about 30 ft. I was instantly busted, and he ran off. Yesterday I was in a little different spot due to wind. I grunted a few times and waited. About a minute later a spike buck walked up behind me about 20 ft away. I was spun around in my seat watching the spike. I was going to throw a stick at the spike to scare it off before another buck showed up. When I twisted around behind me to get a stick, I heard a stomp, I looked up and there was a giant 10 pt standing 24 ft away from me with his head looking around a pine tree . He snorted and ran a few yards and stopped right behind a pine tree. One more snort and he was gone. He was a giant buck with a perfect rack. I could just cry. What an opportunity.. I don't know if you guys and gals use a grunt call, but I really do believe they work. I've grunted 6 times and have seen a buck within minutes of using it. Only two legal. Try it you might be suprised

i do alot of archery hunting. i've noticed different things work in different places. grunts have worked better for me where there was alot of buck. bleets worked great for me where there weren't to many bucks. rattle horns work on and off. usually when there is a mature buck close by. i feel bad for ya man. i know what thats like haha. but hey, thats hunting

I've used the horns a few times and got no response. It's funny though, I am hunting some heavily hunted woods and have not seen one doe. I've seen 5 different bucks, but not one doe.
