Best Call for Easter WA White tail and Muleys

[BigBuckFever]

I am new to this forum but have muzzle loader hunted for years and have been thinking about adding a deer call to my arsenal of tricks.  I am wondering if any of you use them, how good they work, which work best, best way to use them, and are they actually "dangerous" with regard to calling in predators?  (you know jr hunters with me and the like.  Might not want to call in a cougar on my 12 year old son unless I am standing next to him)  I know they work great for elk, but deer... I need a little feedback.  Any feedback would be great.

I always have a grunt tube with me.  Even before the rut it can bring in a curious buck and it can calm down a deer that has been mildly spooked if it didn't see or smell you.  I have kicked a deer up out of a bed and softly grunted and they have went back and bedded back down or went back to feeding.  I personally like the Primos Hypervent grunt tube.

a grunt tube is good, at times.  If you use a fawn bleat you may bring in a mad doe... or a cougar, coyote, bear.

I recommend rattling with jelly beans to attract the wiley Easter whitetail    Don't have a clue about the Easter mule though.

rustleing the green basket grass seems to bring the easter muleys in for me

So it looks like not many of you guys use them very often unless you are hunting the predators or in the peak of the rut.  I usually hunt the early ML season (Sept this year... seems  a little too early).  Sounds like a grunt might work once in awhile.  Let me know if any of you do find a call that is really effective.  I'd love to find a way to call 'em right to the back of my truck before I shoot em.

I really hate the Easter hunts, My mom used to slap me when I brought home all those little brown eggs the Easter whitetails and mulies left.    

Actually predator calls work pretty good in Sept and Oct.

I have tried jelly beans on these west side black tail and they always came running with there tail wagging and their tongue out. I thought the eastern Whiteys and muleys were smarter than these coastal bucks though.

Are there any serious answers out there?   I have $20 for a new call that is burning a hole in my pocket.  I'd hate to waste it on something that sounds like a deer fart and scares the bucks away.

i would spend the $20 on gas.

thats a serious answer.

Unless it's the rut, I wouldn't depend on any calls.

   My first answer was serious.
