Yep, if done correctly, it brings them running. Of course, they're looking for a fight when they get there.
Rattling antlers works well, brings in males during the rut season to either fight or if there are already 2 bucks fighting a third buck will try to seduce any does present while the others are "disstracted" 
. Like Ra said sometimes they come in full of it and will show you who is the "bull of the woods". I also use 2 nickles, one I place in the centre of my index and thumb top part of my hand as it is cupped (like an OK sign), then form a sound chamber with the rest of the fingers, I tap with the other nickle the top of the first nickle (like a drum) and produce a barking sound (easier done than explained). Squirrels are very territorial and will come out and bark their challenge. Most animals will come to a salt lick, corn pile, apple mound and give you a longer time to take pictures etc... the more you return and stock the pile the calmer and tranquill will be the animals over a period of time, becomes a habit but don't overdo it, leave them hungry each and every time so they don't become habituated to people and lazy in their foraging and become careless. This is a treat not a regular food source. CG :yo:

wah wah etc (bad example )
also works on rabbits, as they like to see who is distressed (or who is the wally sucking the back of his hand sounding like a baby crying )
