Lots of calls available in most stores. What's worked well for us is a set of rattling horns and a grunt call. Works best in the pre-rut.

Broomebuck,
In many parts of our state, deer are hunted heavily. The doe/buck ratio is out of wack to say the least. IMO, this severly diminishes the effectiveness of rattling. If I just wanted to see bucks...any bucks...rattling works a little around here...so does grunting.
However, even though our ratio is improving as we slay does on a 3:1 ratio, calling does not produce great results for us.....unless you just want to see any buck. The grunt tube is very very good though when you SEE a bigger buck that may not be coming your way. It can steer them a little.
It's not like the TV shows around here.
