I see lot's of stuff on this. I know people who have rattled and grunted in bucks. I have been trying it for 2 rifle season's, 2 late rifle season's, and 6 late bow seasons and have never had anything come in. I, actually, will only do it a few times a day now because I am afraid I am alerting deer to my whereabouts.

 It works, I believe it, no doubt in my mind. I cannot seem to find the proper way to do it, or the right time to do it, or the right place to do it.

I've grunted at a few smaller bucks and does, but nothing bigger than a 2 point. If I see a bigger buck I'm gonna be trying to put lead in him, so I haven't tried the grunt on a bigger buck...Yet

Yep,  got to let them grow up. I'll let my son shoot a spike, but I let em go. I'd rather go home empty handed than kill a young deer just to say I got 1.

yup were i live if you shoot a 2 point your doing really good and i wont shoot a spike there just young bucks and need to go threw rut at least once.... hahaha  but i rather not get a deer then shoot a spike. just my thoughts on it and if people shoot spikes well good for you but i will not.
