I honestly have never used one. Shaking the corn bag seems to work as good as anything. smile


I have nothing clever to put here.

The old MADD grunt/snort wheeze was my favorite but they discontinued the model and mine finally gave up the ghost. Heartbroken. Woods-Wise made one they called the Buc & Doe iirc. It was a cartridge call and the doe bleat was killer. Still is. I used it last to call in a little forlorn.

There are several good calls on the market and I suspect most any of them will do the job if you find a buck in the right frame of mind.

The first time I tried to call a deer it worked great. I saw this buck further than I wanted to shoot. I doe bleated. I made the bleat and he turned and faced me. I waited about 45 seconds and bleated again. He came straight at me. He got about 100 yards and stopped and started feeding. So I shot him. I figured hew was 400-500 yards when I called.

My only experience with deer calls is when I grunt they either ignore it or take off. Never do they cone my direction. But I hardly ever call. Bought a grunt tube tonight and got a set of antlers out that was off road kill. I think I will try making some noise mid day tomorrow . My boys got drawn for a youth refuge hunt. I will let you know it it works. It will be a long Day.

The best time to call deer is when they're already on their feet. Early morning and evening.

I have brought bucks in rattling horns before. Be sure they can't get downwind of you, they will try.

I've not had much success with doe blasts. Best success rates for me have been with a Primos Buck Roar.

A Way bow grunter plus. I'm not sure if they are in business anymore. I still own and use this call. It has worked great over the years. It is adjustable from fawn to buck. The best call I've ever used. Made by A Way products (Fred and Greg Abbis)

Too many to list, Scott. Knight & Hale EZ Grunter, Primos Buck Roar, Woods-Wise (now defunct but available on eBay) and a bunch of others. I have too many to list but have called in deer with most, if not all of them.

I use the doe bleat in conjunction with the grunt tube. I try to paint a picture a buck can't ignore.

Absolutely. A mature buck is going to try and come in downwind. It's not so much he thinks the calling is a fraud, he wants to know who he is walking into.

Learned many years ago how to snort wheeze by mouth. It has been brought the end to many deer-both bucks and does.

I have to say I also have had very little if any success with a doe bleat. Have called a bunch in with a grunt though. A snort wheeze can have impressive results too especially on mature bucks during the rut. My absolute favorite tool for hunting deer is a deer decoy. Those things are probably the only hunting gadget I've bought that works even better than I hoped it would .
Right now I use a Knight and Hale ez grunt-er extreme. Blows easy and has a very smooth tone to it. Blow for a grunt, inhale for a bleat.

My experience with a deer call is sometimes the deer show no reaction ,sometimes they run away and sometimes they come to the call and the hunter gets a shot .I have killed several buck that I am certain the deer was coming closer to investigate the sound of the call For about 20 years now I always have either a buck grunt call and a doe bleat call with me if I am deer hunting.They take up vey little room and they work .
