Leave the grunt call behind and take your rattling horns up there. Where I hunt the bucks move around a lot, but usually stick to the ridge tops. Make sure you wait at least 15 minutes at each place you rattle, and watch downwind.

Doh! I wonder if GI Joes will take back the grunt tube I bought!? Haha, I think I'll still try it, with rattling, maybe to stop a moving buck or in conjunction with the rattling, I heard it works, I'll tell you after this weekend!

A doe bleat will stop them in their tracks, even if they are scared.. I used it on wednesday to stop does and ear tag #37 (even after I missed him).
