Thread: Sika Roaring

Hi Guys, i was wondering if anyone out there could help me out.

After reading an article in 'NZ outdoor hunting', the author shot an 8point Sika Stag by stalking into the stags territory and using a AJ productions caller called him in.
He 1st Mewed then hee hawed and the stag mewed back giving away his position, he did this several times and eventually shot his stag.
So my question is why do Sika Mew?

I know (roughly) that a single call is to say 'there is a hind on heat here and she's mine'
And a hee haw is to say 'this is my territory so stay out'
but why the Mew?

And to really start some debates going, What combos do you find work best?
