Mad deer is all I've ever called in with it. Be sure and place the call away from you.

+1. I won't use my fawn distress hand calls at night anymore after a few close calls. generally only use them from an elevated spot.

Used it for the first time last weekend and called it two at the first stand took about 20 min of calling but there was 15-20mph winds, front coyote caught our wind and was gone but second one stopped on a terrace at 100 yards and my buddy got him I was running call and shotgun.
I mix in fawn distress with my other distress sounds. I used it back in December to bring in a big male from over 1/2 mile away in high winds. Great sound!

I was using a Fawn Bleat,then Fawn Distress and lastly Coyote & Fawn Distress Monday evening on my new Shockwave and had 3 different Doe's thru out the evening come barreling out into a fresh cut hayfield stomping and blowing because they thought it was the real thing!
I read this post earlier and took Everyone's advice.....I had tied the E-Caller up high on the round bale and turned it off when the Deer got too close and I was running the remote about 60-75 yards away safely in a Tree protected grassy cubby hole watching the Show in amazement with a big smile on my face!

I use and have great success with not only the deer fawn distress sounds, but the antelope fawn sounds that Cal Taylor recorded for FoxPro.
While I have called in does, (both deer and antelope), the best thing those sounds bring in are aggressive coyotes that know what fawn distress sounds are because they have heard them on animals they are killing.
The vast majority of coyotes that I get in on those sounds come quickly after the stand is started, and they come in hard and fast....So be ready when you play the sounds.

We went out again this week Coyote Hunting,we set up along a pasture edge fence row and a wore down hog lot since the Farmer said the Coyotes were coming in there in the late evenings and scaring His hogs down to the far end.We got all settled in and I decided to start out early with the Fawn Sounds....we heard crashing thru the woods and here came an irate Doe,She ran up to a large downed tree in the ditch and jumped right over it by the Caller that I again put up off the ground in a small sapling.
She ran around it each time I turned the sound back on and ran down the fence line jumping it a few times from the woods to the Hog Lot....We were both astound at the Deer and yet grinning at how effective it was at bring and keeping Her nearby...and a little nervous a about our safety!

Just used it this morning with a fawn decoy, had a new experience. Second set, around 5:30 am, wide open rolling corn field.
We saw a whitetail doe coming in about half a mile away. She came up the drainage ditch, slowly came in the last 100 yards to about 20 yards away from the deke. We're talking about how we're going to have to call it "prey hunting" because we'd called in a concerned bunny rabbit with Bay-B Cottontail on the last set.
Medium male popped straight over the top of the hill about 150 yards out. Luckily zoned in on the deke, because we're both scoping the doe, moving and laughing. I whack the coyote with the 308. He sits on his [beeep], waiting to die, the doe looks around to figure out what that noise was (I shoot with a suppressor). She turns and sees the yote and goes after him! No tail up, no hesitation, she's planning on kicking the crap out of the yote! I smoke the yote again, the doe didn't take off until my buddy lets go with his unsuppressed 223.
Gave me a lot more respect for does! It would have sucked if she saw us on the fence row, I wouldn't like explaining to the Buffalo county warden why I had to kill a doe in self-defense. We had 4 bucks grazing the edge around 400 yards out first set and they didn't give a crap about the decoy or call, so it's definitely maternal instinct.
Saw one more skinny yote driving home on hwy 37, tried knocking on a couple doors; no one answered their door for the big, muddy dude in camo at 6:30 am. The male we got was in good shape, still had a lot of long guard hairs and was probably 40 pounds or so. 308 turned him inside out, so he smelled pretty awful.

What he saidOriginally Posted By: possumalWe have had a lot of success for several years using Coyote & Fawn, Fawn Distress, and mix in a little coyote pup distress. Fawn decoys and some deer scent helps the setup. With the coyotes feeding heavy on fawns, it just makes good sense to use fawn distress sounds.
