I do it all. I have had success with all of these. I will be breaking out the antlers next week. I will start to use buck scent then late October switch to the doe scent. I have grunted bucks in, I've snort wheezed at them and brought some in. I do have a good supply of bucks over the age of 3 and it is fun watching these guys respond to the different calls.
I have never used calls and have had mixed results with scents. The wicks never really seem to scare deer away but I am not sure how much it brings them in either. I am going to try rattling either this weekend or next.
Grunting has worked for me... not much luck rattling. Seven Pointer showed up last night 2 minutes after my first grunt of the season.
I have been bow hunting since the early 90's and IMO, Scents are a waste of money, but it's not my money, so spend it if you wish, I just don't use them. I only use a grunt call if I see a buck a distance away, and I have killed a few that responded to the call,as far as rattling, I have never had any luck blind rattling, I have rattled a few in over the years, but never got a kill out of it, not saying it isn't effective I just don't think i am very good at it.
Is there anything better than being in the woods?!
