Anyone tried something other than traditional calling? Several years back, I was hunting near the top of a deep holler. I heard a buck start making a scrape in a pine thicket about 50 yards behind me. I couldn't see him, but I could clearly hear his foot striking the ground, and the dirt flying. Several minutes later, a 4 pt. buck came up the holler, and past me at 10 yards headed straight for the sound of the scraping buck. I shot the 4 point, he was so focused on the other buck he never saw me. I've considered trying to replicate the sounds of that scraping buck to see if I could call a buck to me."

I've got a book by Jerome Robinson "In The Deer Woods", and he tells about and Indian guide he had in Canada that called bucks in using his hunting knife. He would beat the handle end of his knife against an exposed tree root 5 times. He said that bucks would do this with their foot to attract other deer, and always 5 times. Robinson said the guide was able to call in 2 good bucks which he shot using this technique. Might be worth a try.
 
Not intentionally but 2 years ago I was done bowhunting for the day and was putting my arrow in the quiver . Unintenally pecked it against other arrows in my quiver and a six point came running to the sound and I couldn't move cause he was looking right at my tree. I reckon he thought it was a little sparring and he wanted some.
 
Nothing better than a good early morning fart

Sounds like a grunt and feels good, just hope it don't smell bad.

The 4 point I shot came from quite a distance, and in a hurry. I was surprised he could hear the scraping buck from so far away.
