Thread: Deer sounds - how accurate do they need to be?

Hey everyone,
Been looking at things like callers and learning to make animal sounds, not necessarily to call in animals, but to keep potential animals around me keep calm. E.g. if i accidentally make a ton of noise by breaking a branch, i could make a deer sound to lessen suspicion that im a predator. But sometimes I also worry that if I make the wrong sound, I will scare everything away.

Some of the cheaper callers seem to be for whitetail deer, like grunt callers and bleat cans. Can these work for fallow or reds or do you reckon it will scare them? Another option is just learning to make the sounds myself. Bleats would be easier than roars, just need to find videos trying to mimic the sounds. It doesn't look like the sounds need to be super accurate as shown in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=960DnQbqyHc , but maybe depends on the animal.
