Anyone try "the great big can"
I bought one to try out in case I see a bruiser that isn't coming
to me and want to try a long shot to bring him in. I was out on Sat. and was seeing alot of little bucks running around chasing does. Then I see a very nice 2.5 8 point and he comes directly to my tree, within 10 yards. I didn't even pick up the bow as he isn't what I am looking for. After he harrassed a doe for awhile they moved off a ways and were milling around. I thought I would try "the can" to get his reaction. I turned it over twice and within 10 seconds that buck let out the shortest but loudest gruntI have ever heard in my life. It actually startled me and made me jump, that is how loud it was. He did not come back to me but obviously was responding vocally. Has anyone used one and had it bring a good buck to them? I have two more days to hunt this rut and need to know if I should put "the can" in my fanny pack or throw it in the closet with all the other gadgets I have, like the "fighting purr" turkey call that never did a lick for me in many, manytries.

I haven't tried the big can yet, but I think I'd like to. I've had some decent response when I've used the 'lil' can and figured the others would work well too, just haven't went out and bought one yet. I'm fairly new to the hunting world and I'll keep trying different things until I find something that works without a doubt.

I got the big one, figuring I could muffle it for close calling. It is louder and deeper than the lil' can. I tried the little one in the store and too thought it sounded like a fawn, so I got the big one.

RE: Anyone try "the great big can"
I have had lots of success with the original can. Last Sunday I had a doe 100 yards away hit the brakes and come in. I could only see a deer cruising thru so I hit it hard 6 or 7 times and she turned on a dime and came in to 15 yards.
I have had other does and bucks come to it also. I didn't buy the big can because I have had so much success with the original. I'd only guess the big one works in windy conditions better.
