Does will definitely respond to fawn in distress bawling. I've done it many times. When you use the can, just make sure to tip it over quickly. A slow bleat is more of a danger call, according to what I learned from a whitetail "expert". I tested this theory after I had heard about it. A long bleat done with the can has sent deer packing on several occasions, so I'm a believer.

I was hunting on the ground many years ago in December (pre second rut) and rattled in a brute of a buck from a couple hundred yards away. He was missing his right side because of an injury. He had a healed over lump along his back on the opposite side. He would have been a heavy 10, probably pushing 140. I think it really helps to tear up the brush and pound the ground while you do. He came trotting in and was about 6 feet away from me at one point. Problem was that he didn't stop until there was a thick bush between us. He definitely had the sound source location pegged. My heart was pounding out of my ears, but he was close enough I could hear him breathing and licking his nose. Never got a shot at him, because my friend was hunting about 150 yards away and had shot a button buck just then. When that deer crashed in the woods, it spooked my deer.

I think timing is everything when you call deer though. Do it at the wrong time and you may as well be throwing rocks at them.

Randy,by Jan 15,I may wish I had shot the 1st one!! Right now I'm havin the most fun legally to be had!!

Sorry about the crappy pics,it wasn't too long before dark!

I love the one looking up.Great pics thanks for sharing

Great pics Kenny! I don't go into the woods without my grunt call. The rattle bag, not so much luck with that over the years

I rattled in a spike last weekend...no shooters though. I think they are mostly chasing does now, so they are not much interested in fighting.

Pics look great to me Kenny.  My imagination blocks out the "fuzziness".  I'm gonna try rattlin a mountain Mule deer in this year with my old set of whitetail horns.

Love the pics. Thanks..

The one looking up at you is way too cool.

That's a really good buck in my area.
