RE: calling
Hey it sounds like a great idea to me, but i know im not the only person who has ever seen a deer spook from a squirrel?? I have had a few deer spook from a squirrel mostly knocking branches off and stuff but i also believe that each animal in the woods has its own distress call that sends signals to all critters....esp.. those darn squirrels[:@]!

Let me get this straight.......
I'm supposed to have deer in the area......around me.....UNaware of my presence in my treestand.......and I'm supposed to make noises like the forest critters to .......to WHAT? They're already not aware of my presence.Is itsupposed to put them at "double-secret" ease?
I'm sorta making fun of it ,,,,,because I don't know about it. I apologize. BUT.....it sounds WAYYYYYY out there as far as a viable strategy to pursue whitetails.
I DO grab a stick on the way in the woods, sometimes......and do what I can to mask my 2-legged walk.....crunching in the leaves. I read that from Joe Brooks. BUT....I'm already making noise in that instance.
It'll be interesting to see how this thread goes.

I just read where this guy recomended that if you made noise or broke a branch to use a turkey or squirrel call to fool the deer and put the deer at ease that the sound is somthing non threatening . Does anybody do this or think this would be a good technique?

RE: calling
when i break a limb while walking or clearing one out of the way i always remain still a quiet and observe the surrounding area more than likely that deer will freeze for awhile and look around.
they will either become unease or relax but still be observant.
ive heard of people using turkey calls while going to the stand.never meet one
