Two bucks chasing a doe just out of range - What is your first thought in how to bring them your way?
Get my doe bleat call out
Use my fawn in distress call
Use my rattling horns
Spray doe in heat mist in the air
Buck grunt call & doe bleat
Buck grunt call
Forget it just wait hope she brings them by

I would probably try a snort wheeze and if that didn't work I would just wait.

My first choice would be a doe/fawn bleat in an attempt to attract the does. The second choice would be a snort wheeze aimed at the buck. My third and last ditch effort would be to climb down and try to cut them off if I had an Idea where they were going, but only if it were during archery season.

I would work the rattle bag in conjunction with my grunt tube & doe bleat, hoping the buck would hear it and come back around to check it out later.

i picked "spray doe in heat mist into air"........................
i really wouldnt do that.....................
however it is closest to the choice that i like.
if they are chasing that heavy then my thoughts are that it is "prime time" to be out in the woods.
so my choice would be to rely on the JVS gel scents that i have out ! if they are just out of range.................then they are close to picking up my scent streams.
that i can rely on.
one medium pitched grunt possibly to grab a little attention.
the big kicker to this whole scenario is whether or not the doe is currently "hot"...................or if they are just "dogging" her.
IMHO............i have faith in the JVS scents to attract and gain attention. this year i saw more bucks and does "pull" off a trail (10-15 yards) to investigate my scent stations. this includes a little "early" experimentation as well.

I would probably just wait it out and see what happens. I would be afraid that I would scare them away by making a call. Not enough confidence in my calling ability at this point.

Been there before, tried anything I could, nothing worked those times. I chose sit and wait, but more them likely I would try my hardest to pull one of them over. When they are chasing does I don't think there is much you can do but be lucky to find him without a doe or to have the doe run him by you.

i would give a couple of grunts see if i could at least get their attention, then i give them a snort wheeze. that has worked for me alot when there is a buck out chasing a doe

I would kill the doe and call it a day.

Chances are if there are 2 bucks that you could call on of them to you fairly easily. Maybe not the one you want, but you could get one to come with a grunt or wheeze or rattle.
If i thought there was no chance of them running by me, i would rattle first to make sure I was heard.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained..
I crack the rattling antlers together as hard as I could. Then follow up with the bleat and grunt.
If that didn't work I'd get down and sneak over to where they are playing.
When they run, I'd sneak. When they stop, I'd stop. When bucks are running a doe they don't pay a whole lot of attention to what else is happening.
Hopefuly I would get in a position to get a shot.

If i am in a doe bedding area i will wait them out.
If they are across a field i would try a buck grunt.
