The True Talker grunt tube is the best grunt tube I've used, and I've tried quite a few. It can make older or younger buck grunts and doe bleats that sound realistic. Its also quite durable and nearly freeze proof. I found one in the woods probably 15 years ago and have been using it since. That said, I do little to no blind calling and typically call only when I can see the deer, if I call at all. 99% of the big bucks in my area will circle downwind and out of range to calling in my area which is the reason I only call in certain situations when I can see them. Good luck.

Hobbie That is not crazy at all .Some times when a critter comes to a call it is out of curiosity I stopped a buck that was about to pass through my shooting lane He was going at a steady walk and I was just a split second behind him . I burpped at him with my voice and he stopped drop dead where I would have placed him for the shot.I already had the bow up and on draw When he stopped the arrow was on its way . He went about 50 yards and kicked over backwards But if he had not stopped I am not sure I could have shot .Someone ask me way I grunted at him I said I needed to stop him before he was through my shooting lane

As a young man, made my own deer call, a fawn bleat out of: (2) 3/8 x 1 x 6 pine hollowed on one side about 3/32 deep x 1 1/2 long centered, a wide piece of grass, (2) rubber bands. Place the two pieces of wood with the hollows together, place the grass between the wood so it acts as a reed through the opening, secure with a rubber band each end. Replace the grass when needed because of use or age.

That's a really good idea!!!

When I remember to bring it, this is what I use. I think it’s a Walmart.

I have had one in my stand for years and I have never gotten a "reaction" from a deer to it yet.


I have nothing clever to put here.

Swamp gas chili and a single cheek wheezer is all I have ever needed to bring them in. It is like a feeding chuckle for Mallards.

Every year.

I have had excellent luck with the can call but when you use it is the crucial part.

I have seen bucks chasing does and after tipping the can had her bring the buck to me.

It's excellent if you get a buck on the chase and tip it. They will either come straight in or try to circle down wind but if you're ready you'll get a shot.

If a doe is hot she will take off with the buck leaving you angry.

Sometimes you get zero results othe times it's golden.

I have had my best luck this time of year bowhunting but have had them come during rifle season.

Just keep in mind once you tip the can a couple times the deer has your location pegged.

Called in hundreds of deer with grunts and by rattling. Only issue is I’ve only seen two called in worth shooting. If quantity is your thing they are great, I’ve just never had much luck with quality.
The deer I’ve been after is 6.5 and will turn the other way from rattling or grunting. I’ve seen him on lockdown with a doe and saw a lot of bucks come in but all he had to do was posture and lay those ears back and they decided there were plenty of other does to check out.
Some deer just aren’t fighters or want confrontation. You can usually tell those by no broken tines later in the season, lol. Had a nice drop tine buck that broke his drop tine the second week after losing velvet.

Rattled a few very nice deer in a Montana clear cut once. Don't have the same results in NC. A six-pointer once in NC.
