The part at the top of the call that you push on to make a doe bleat, young buck, mature buck grunt etc... Do all of you just push the reed down in one location and blow or do you ever roll your finger to make a grunt changing tones, like going from deep to higher pitch all in the same blow? Just wondering how you actually use yours. I usually just push down in one location and blow but sometimes rolling the finger a bit sounds good too.

I usually just push down in one spot but, I might try it like you said rolling your finger back and fourth. So far I have had good luck with my true talker. How is your season going?

Same for me, I generally push down in one spot, but I may too try rolling it over a bit.

I push in one spot, but sometimes if there aren't any deer that will bust me for movement I'll cup the end of the call with my other hand, then move my hand away, then cover it up again towards the end. It kind of varies the grunt... Thats a good way to bleat with the call too..... Anyone else do that?

yep... same here. I vary the sound by cupping and uncupping my hand. Sort of makes a "bbbbbrrap" sound. There's two on the wall behind me that fell to that sound, and one came from about 100 yards away.

Never tried the finger roll. I just push in one spot. I turn the end of the tube to change direction and also cup and open. Best call out there. I have had mine for 5 years. I have called in several deer with it. I like to use the fawn and doe bleets during the early season.

I got the True Talker 2 this year and have been learning to use it in the field. I've tried the rolling technique and also cuped my right hand over the tube end like you would playing a trumpet..both work. For the doe stuff, if you press down in the center until the reed is pressed or almost pressed against the wood you can get a higher pitched bleat and then by going slightly up and down from that spot you can get a lot of variance in the pitch. Lot's of other users have said don't blow too hard for your grunts and I agree with them, just a slight exhale not quite as hard as Field Marshal Montgomery did in the movie Patton is about right. Have lots of fun, practice makes for success during the season, plus you can have lots of fun with the kids with it.

I use the western deer/ mule deer version. Push in one spot with cupping on the end.

ManofTheFall

I have done all of the above and I too have been using it for probably about 5 years. I have called in both doe and bucks with it.

Old post but they still work great.

Called him in to me just over 20 yards with me sitting on the ground.
