Keep in mind more hunters are shooting animals from now on so more loud bang noises/choppers flying around through the week and the onset of the roar with past human encounters must be imprinted in their brains its danger season.
I've heard using electronic Sika callers can also be detrimental as if the deer gets scent of you while playing the sika caller they will then associate that particular call with danger and stay well clear and quiet. In addition, if you play a sika caller and they come to your past location when you have long left, they will get scent of you and again associate that call with danger. Hence why they update the callers every few years with different sounding calls as they wise up to them.
Reds on the other hand, they seem to be less wised up than the Sika.
