    I have always believed the mew is also to do with a hind being in season, the only time i have ever heard the stags mewing are when they are in close proximity to a hind and are single calling aswell (i stand to be corrected though). The mew is awesome to hear, in near perfect conditions it can be heard from a reasonable distance, and each individual call will vary alot.

    I have roared many animals sometimes using only the mew, sometimes the single call and at other times i have used a combination of the single call and mew. I couldnt tell you which is better but i can assure you they all have there place and time.

    I have always thought less is more when it comes to calling Sika .

    The stag can identify the spot the call comes from and will often sneek in and circle to determine who the opposition is . When you are in the stag's territory, best near a scrape, call once or twice then move away from the spot you called from and back up to a down wind spot where the stag cant get behind you , then sit still and shut up and wait for up to an hour , keep an eye out for the slightest movement .
    Get as close as you can then six feet closer
