I usually do two young buck grunts, rattle for about a minute, grunt again, rattle for another minute, then grunt twice. I then wait about 5-10 minutes and use the can.
I called in a spike and an 8 pointer a couple days ago doing this. I wanted the 8 pointer to come closer but he never came beyond a thicket that i could only see horns sticking up.
I'm was hunting about 75 yards inside a swamp on the 8 pointers heavily used scrape line.
Funny thing though, I got off stand about 11:00 to go and get something to eat, came back around 1:00 and the scrape had been dug up and had monster deer prints inside. The deer also crapped beside my treestand at the bottom of the rungs.
