Anyone use them? Do they work? If so which ones would you recommended?
Gotta step up my deer game, my 7 year old hadn't seen single one...... (not counting a dead one) |
| I've hit a grunt and had a young deer come directly in LOOKING for the source, and I've hit a grunt while watching a buck and he paid no attention to the noise... I once coaxed a 6pt into bow range using a grunt... all in all... they have worked as well as they have not... hope that makes sense. I've never scared one off by hitting a grunt.... |

I decided to hunt without calling at all this past weekend and ended up with two nice 8 pointers. It seems the less I try ; the more successful I am. ( With hunting that is) I have had smaller bucks run in on a mouth doe bleat. I've never had any luck with the doe can. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

I've had very little results with a grunt call over the years.
How many have ever hard a deer grunt while sitting on the stand. I have spent countless hours in a stand and many more in the woods in general and I may have heard a couple of grunts in all that time. td |

I hear wheezes and blows often, occasionally a bleat but almost never a grunt. As far as using a grunt to stop a moving deer, I can make almost any noise from a whistle to a tisk-tisk sound and they will stop, usually long enough for a shot. One time I thought I was hearing a grunt like no other. Topped the hill and a young fellow was blowing his grunt call like an elk bugle. No wonder I didn't see any deer that day.

I've heard a deer grunt before. But never while hunting. Only while back packing.sounds more like a frog croaking than a grunt . I've heard deer grunt while hunting. Goats make very similar sounds. Kinda like a croaking bleat. Very low and forlorn sounding. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

You don't hear cuz they don't grunt from the top of their lungs or that often. But when they blow n wheeze they use a lot more force!! The ones that I have heard were very close and all but once I made visual contact before or after the grunt. They were all young bucks and came in to the doe bleat. The larger bucks I have taken while bleating all came running in full bore and stopped in the perfect location for me to shoot them. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

the only buck I ever heard grunt was 1 second after I put an arrow into his spine. Before grunt. http://i1352.photobucket.com/albums/q659/talrx1/CDY_0001_zpsm3q8pqz8.jpg Grunting: http://i1352.photobucket.com/albums/q659/talrx1/CDY_0002_zpsxhfxgkbe.jpg Spine shot!! No tracking!! |
