I swear by the Primos Grunt Tube with the snort wheeze. I have called in many bucks with it. In Ohio one year I called in 13 big bucks in the first two weeks of November. The buck to doe ratio is high there so there is a lot of competition between bucks.
In NJ where I live I have also called in some bucks, but here the buck to doe ratio is low and we have a trickle rut, so the amount that respond to calls is fewer.
I have had mixed reviews with scents, so I only use James Valley Red Fox Gel as a cover scent on my boots.
I have never had any luck with rattling so I don't have confidence in it and therefore don't use it. I imagine in areas like Ohio where competition between bucks is fierce it would work also, but since I have confidence in the Primos grunt tube I don't rattle.
Since I am no Gene Wensel and a whitetail hacker, if that grunt tube works for me it can work for anyone. The year in Ohio I called in the 13 bucks I was blowing it like a duck call.
