What (if anything) do you guys use to attract deer? Baits, urin, antlers to make it sound like a fight between bucks? Anything else? Or do you prefer the stay and pray method and jsut waiting for a deer to show up?

I have had great luck with a can-type doe call. This year, I hunted "clean" with no scents or calls all season and still managed to get a buck with the bow at 20 yards (and passed several others).
Each of these things is a tool that, used properly, can enhance your hunting. Nothing, however, beats experience. Hunt, hunt, and hunt some more.
