You can't argue that. I did logging and landclearing for a couple years. Sometimes we were still packing up to go home and the deer showed up to feed on the tops.

Better investment than a grunt call.

calls
Success with a call is largely dependent on what is going on in the deer cycle.
If the does are "in" and the bucks running does, I would be much grieved if one morning I found I'd forgotten my Knight and Hale grunter. The biggest buck I have taken to date came galloping to it during the peek of our rut, lots of smaller ones have similarly came in that were not shooters, and I had one that was likely a P&Y candidate get away 2 years ago, same call.
Pre rut, hunting corridors and food, the call does not matter to me and I leave it at the Bronco.
I quit fooling with scents a long time ago.

If you can find a snort/wheeze call, buy it. I usually snort wheeze with my mouth --- I SNORT, then I WHEEZE {real fast together} --- that's a call that a buck sometime makes, when he is chasing a hot doe. The buck ---snort/wheezes ---- buy trying to startle the doe into stopping; so he can advance on her. A snort/wheeze is louder than a grunt, so as to give the running/walking buck a better chance to hear it; especially if he is running along dry leaves/ or with a whole herd. It might give you a standing broadside shot.
