Female Deer Mating Calls

[JPSGT40]

When you witness a doe doing a mating call, can it attract a buck? Does the game reproduce this animal behavior, or are the various calls and screams everything makes just for the player's own use in locating the animal that made the call?

yep they call each other. Many times i've called deer and elk and had an answer from a doe and then a buck from a different direction. i've called them both in until they were close enough to hear each other and called back and forth without me calling them.

No. Animals are attracted by calls made by you, not those made by other animals.

Thanks, Autobot.
I was afraid that was the case because I've tried letting the does do their calls for hours and no bucks ever came to them, or even into the area. I've also been noticing deer do not heed the fox's warning barks; the deer continue to let me creep up on them while a fox screams "Look out! Run Away!"
