You know, Zim does have a point. Ask any traditional archer/hunter and they'll tell you the same thing - nearly 100% of the "hunting gear" on the shelves does not apply to them, simplicity at it's finest. Calls and cans are the same way. I've tried the can before with no luck at all (it doesn't scare the deer, just doesn't attract them). In fact, in 27 years of hunting I've never heard the can call in the woods. Maybe I'm missing something.

As for the grunt calls, well.... I think the Buck Roar is a great idea as far as being all rubber to cut down on noise, but it is another marketing ploy attached to the idea that bowhunters will buy anything you put in front of them for nearly any price that says, "You'll get more and bigger deer with this product.".

Years ago my hunting buddy dug out his call during the rut (rifle season) and hit it only to find out the reed had froze up. The thing squealed like a pig. He was trying to get the reed un-froze by blowing through it which only made things worse as far as the sound coming out of it. That ugly noisy duck-pig-rabbit squeal barely resembled a grunt, but what happened next did... Within seconds after failing to unfreeze the reed a nice buck came running in from a couple hundred yards away so my buddy put a bullet through his heart. Yep, bucks are curious.

With all that said, I'll probably be buying a Buck Roar this weekend simply because I like the quietness of using it.
