Default RE: Buck Growl Effects!

I think a big reason people are skeptical is because they are uninformed, and there are soooooo many gimmicks being put out today, it is hard to tell fact from fiction. Matthewsboy, shows this idea very well. He states that we just found out they make that sound, so now the companies came out with the call. No , that is not true. But, they did just learn how to produce acall that will make that vocalization. Just like we know that bucks fight, it took a while until companies got the idea to make "rattling horns " , then it tooka while to find a synthetic material which would have the same sound characteristics as real bone when clashed together. Everyone knows that you can scare deer off if you make unnatural sounds, so they have to make sure it sounds real. They do this by measuring the sound waves of the real thing, and comparing it to the "new" product. If the frequency and amplitude overlays match, then it goes into production and we get new calls and sounds.

There are other sounds and such, I feel safe in saying , that we have not heard yet and over the next few years we will see in the market place. But it is a little unrealistic to think we can get them all out at once. A little skepticism is a good thing, but a bit of honest humility is also needed to keep us aware that we don't know everything - YET - about this great animal we hunt.

Try it if you want to , use it if you like it, respect othersdecision to even if you don't. If we do that , we all might learn something.

God bless.
