Rattling/Fawn distress call for Mulies??

[emerson]

Sorry, I found the rattling threads after searching. Anyone tried the fawn distress call with or without success? The freezer is still empty and time is running out on me. Thanks.

It works great for stopping a buck but ive also called in a few smaller bucks with it

Absolutely unbelievable on mulie does!!! Hit it hard, like your pedator calling! the does come a runnin! just guess what follows the does this time of year!! ;)

I always found the fawn call stops working(at least working effectively) the end of October. Then I switch to a doe bleat, seems that way in my area anyway.

The Primos can calls work great to get does to come in. I have called a doe within 10 yards of me with it.

I've heard that the effectiveness of a fawn bleat wears off towards the fall. I do know they're great for calling in black bears in the spring!

I had a mulie doe charge right in on me this fall when I blew a predator call. I couldnt believe it. I used the Les Johnson Ruffy Dog, and this doe came on the run accross a field from about 200 yds away and came in to about 20 feet before she realized she had been fooled.

I bought a new doe bleet and a Montana decoy and had one within 25 yards tonight. It was funny to watch the doe creeping in and almost pacing back & forth attempting to get a better look at the decoy..

I've had more luck calling in bears with a fawn distress call then deer.:roll:

I wondered about using fawn calls, but I had never heard a fawn in distress call untill last night, a fawn stood in the middle of the road by my house and went nuts for 5min non stop then she walked away. I could hear her calling all the way at the other end of the street. Mabey next year I will get out more before the rut and try calling.

Tried rattling with an old sock and 5 pieces of broom stick; had one very curious cow moose. Fawn distress call didn't even stop the coyote that I scared while walking. I think I'll try to get over into 7-15 tomorrow.
