I've used all kinds of calls. Deer, elk, coyote and my main goal has usually been to get a buck to stand up in his bed so we can whack him. For that purpose, nothing seems to work well. Patience is best. Don't think I've never had a buck just stand. With a mature buck, when he comes out of his bed, he's headed to another county at Mach 1 if you are sitting there blowing on a call. They'll look, swivel their head, but not stand up in their bed. And when they come out, it is an explosion.
I've had decent luck with does and fawns and young bucks. We don't get to hunt the rut, so maybe when the big guys are following does they respond differently. Stealth is often the best solution............
