Call Them, and They Will Come Nose to the ground, the buck grunted feverishly. Scouring the woods for a doe in estrus, he was on a mission! Easing the can call from my pocket I gently rolled it over.

But then, at the sound of my call, his head snapped to attention and he plodded straight toward me!
