I got the deer talk call after I read the designer's book published with the same title. I was out last Sunday and didn't see any bucks but saw a herd of six does about 700 yards away in the canyon bottom and I was up just below the ridge. I used the call to make fawn in distress noises and they came into 200 yards. That alone isn't too impressive but I couldn't get the wind to cooperate with me all morning. Everytime I turned to face it and glass, it would switch directions and blow in the direction I was looking. So, those does came in downwind from me and hung up at 200 looking confused. Like they wanted to come all the way to the fawn but didn't like my smell. The call kept them there for about 10 minutes trying to figure me out but then I stopped calling so they could be on their way. I was really impressed given that the wind was horrible. Had it been in my favor and I been well hidden, I think they would have come in much closer.
Also, I've heard that while fawn calls bring in does, not bucks, any bucks with the does will follow. So, it may work well during the rut. But then, doe bleats would work during the rut too. However, this time of year I might find young bucks still hanging around does and then hopefully they would follow the does in. This is my first archery year and would be my first deer so I don't mind taking a small buck this time or a doe during the extended archery season. Just need to get kills under my belt for experience.
