Actually heard of a grunt call working. My 15 year old called
called in a 6 point to 15 yard this evening. I have never had a buck come in or even pay attention when I have tried them. He was talking about how cool it was that it finally worked. I understand his excitement is know how cool it is to call in coyotes and watch them come in from long distances.


He was just out in the rain messing around. since his buck tag is filled he thought he would play with one of my old grunt called i never use since they never seemed to work.

good for him! Pretty cool!

Bet I've called in over 100+ in the last 50 years. would rather leave my bow home. Last year i had 3 come in from different directions at one time!

Boom, boom, pow!

I’ve never grunted one in.. don’t even own a grunt call anymore.. I think I may have rattled 1 in..

I’ve called deer with bleats and predator calls but never a grunt. Moose on the other hand …….

I always use "young buck" setting if I use a call.

20-25%:success, more if Ive used a young buck decoy

Get any yet this year Scott?

I went to Manitoba hunting and rattling was how we called them in up there, with some grunting mixed in.

That was my first time.

I've used "meh" to stop them, I think we all have. But I've never had any success grunting or rattling.

Had a young guy join camp a few years ago, he was all gung ho about getting an archery buck. Told me he was going to grunt one in. I wished him luck while thinking he didn't have a chance of that happening.

Around dark he called me, told me he grunted one in and arrowed it and asked would I come help him track it. It was only his second deer and his first buck.

It’s cool as heck and so is rattling. Whenever things are slow CJ will say “let’s fight” and see what comes running in, lol. It’s interesting to hear it doesn’t work in different parts of the country. I thought that was a universal calling technique along with rattling.

Deer! She is asking about DEER.

That maybe a NO after his year went.

Have gunted and called deer in.Have stopped many a deer while bounding away with a bleat.Have even had does come in to a rattle sequence.

I have this can call deal that I've used with very good success for maybe 10 years.

When I go hunting the grunt call comes with. I have called in many whitetail with a grunt.

I don't call often, but did bring a buck in on a grunt call once. He was chasing a doe out of range and left the doe to come to the call. I have also called bucks rattling but they always circled and went down wind of me.
