In PA, I've grunted in bucks from the begining of the season to the end of the season. Contact grunts work year around if they are interested. Couple that with contact bleats in early season. I will NEVER enter a woods for the purpose of hunting without a grunt call.

Our archery season is October 4th. I know thats pretty close to, but not close enough for pre-rut.
What works early in the season, bleats? Grunts?

Your herd dynamics will be a big factor in determining whether or not calls will be successful, for you.
Around here.....having a buck respond to a grunt call is akin to asking Brad Pitt to leave Angelina, Marissa Miller, Jessica Biel and Pam Anderson .....for a tussle to gain the possible affections of a"mystery woman".
I'd take my chances with the sure things I was with if I were him, too![Wink](https://www.huntingnet.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif)

If you saw 10 bucks in one sit.....you saw more in my woods than I've ever seen in 2 sits, combined. See how I treat my friends!![Big Grin](https://www.huntingnet.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
I saw 4, total, last YEAR.[8D]
Honestly, Rob.....you made me nervous as hell with all the calling you were doing, that evening. The can call is absolutely still foreign, to me. I've tried it.....and it's just never been a producer.
I hope it works for you here, this fall. I'll end up taking my grunt call once or twice this year......maybe more ion the new properties.
I wish you luck!

There is probably a rule against this or something but here is a link to a couple of DVD's that i am selling on Ebay right now. One of them is called: The Art of Calling "A guide to calling deer".

I used the buck growl along with a rattling sequence to call in 3 different bucks in less than2 hour. only one shooter but the fact that all this calling was done blind.
My thought is how do you know if its gonnawork you or not if ya dont try it first?

I hope I didn't give the wrong impression....because I KNOW they work.
I grunted in a P&Y caliber buck from over 100yds in PA.......and got him to 22yds. I know it works. Rob's herd dynamics are DRASTICALLY different than mine, also.
I have experimented with them, here, to no avail. Like I said.....my reasoning is (putting my deer hat on).....WHY would I leave a bunch of ladies I already have......for th e"possibility" of a tussle over one someone else already (seemingly) has?
I dunno.....I may be swayed to change my tactics.....and a piece of new land may do that. I just didn't want anyone to think I felt they were useless. I know better.
