When is it a good time to start using a bleat call? And,Or would a buck grut be best this time of year?

1. I had a doe 85 yards from my stand that was not going to approach.
2. I only had 15 minutes of daylight left.
3. I am not hunting that place for a few weeks, I was not worried about spooking the deer in the area.
In other words, I had nothing to loose. I bleated 3 times in 10 minutes. I got the deer's attention the first time then waited a few minutes. She did not approach so I bleated again. She started to approach and then began to eat beans. I bleated one more time, even though I knew she was uncallable. That 3rd bleat made her go back to her bedding area.

My old man's backhand used to land,
Hard on the side of my head.
I just learned to stay out of his way.
There's been streetfights, blue lights,
Long nights with the world sittin' on my chest:
It just showed me how much I could take.
Hard times, bad luck.
Sometimes, life sucks.
That's all right, I'm ok.
It ain't nothin' but another day.
Grunt, bleat, rattle, may as well rub our heads against trees and mark our stands while we're at it. Some things can get out of hand. This year so far I haven't carried my horns or bleat with me and I'm only taking one grunt call just in case I need something to stop in a certain spot or at least slow down.
