Less is more and the louder the better. Don't bellow on that thing like Michael Waddell does on TV, there's a reason most of you have never heard a buck roar and the ones who have heard it have only heard it once or twice. Short grunts increasing in volume (by opening your hand) and get on it. Refrain from grunting in shooting houses or blinds if you can. Most productive times are between daylight and 8 am and late in the evening, but it can and will work at any time of the day. Integrate it with a snort wheeze when the rut is in full swing.
