the can?
 
I just got one of these "cans" by primos
And I'm just wondering if anyone here has had much luck with one.

I've used one for a few years and have had a few deer come in. Never scared one with it (well that I could see)

One important tip, do NOT drop it into a stream. They don't seem to like that, even after drying it out, best sound I could get it to make sounded like a drunk deer with a very short burp.

I have never ever scared a deer with it either. It will bring in fawnswith the does behind it all day.And this late in the season I'm tired of all the does.:)

A few curious fawns in all I've ever seen with it.

The can helped me get this guy during the rut here in Northeast Louisiana. He was one of three bucks chasing a single doe. I didn't get to shoot at the other 2, as they came by so quickly, but I turned that can over, and aimed down the lane. Not 2 seconds later he stepped out and stopped, looking for where it came from. But, there have been times that I used it and haven't seen anything. Try it, nothing to lose, and good luck and safe hunting.

I swear by it after this season, doe went other way I tipped half way *key* and she came back and went
by. I used it 5 minutes later and by my profile pic you can see what came in. I put half way
because I read dont do the full call just tip it half way and do like a wa wa instead of waaaaaaaaaa.
Oh if you could hear it lol

I used it quite a bit during this bow season, but I was only ever to call in a small 5-point in with it. He came running in about 30 seconds after I used it. It actually would have been an easy shot if the deer was legal (there is an antler restriction in the area I hunt).

My dad bought one last year first time he used it was during the M/L season first week of december.The first time he flipped it over a big 11point came running down the treeline to him,He won't make that mistake again.

Iv had a Primos can for about 5 heres now,the best bleat deer call u can get in my opinoin..iv called in alot of deer with it,even got my first bow shot with it about 2 years ago,and yeh they do work,well..

I done it twice,then wait about 15 20minutes then hit the can 1-2times max and wait bout 30minutes and maybe hit it again every 10minutes longer or so is what i dun,and sometimes a grunt call every now and then in between

RE: the can?
 
well i used it tonight and i have to say. it really works. i just ran out of light waiting for the deer to come out of the brush.
i got in the woods around 3'oclock and started calling with it...saw nothing till about 5:15 it was a small spike and it was looking for it. it went into a thicket that sit in front of my stand...and as soon as it left i hit the call once more and heard what sounded like two deer coming out of some pines behind me. and this is in a stand i have seen nothing out of this year. by the time i saw the outline of a deer it was too late.
thanks for the help guys.

next time i plan on buying something i might have to ask here.

I used one this year for the first time,probobly hunted 40 times,and used it 10. Not realy a fair test so ill have to keep at it.

Come to think of it, the beatty buck was called in using the can.

Blow into the hole, you can make the bleat as long as you want instead of the 1/2 second bleat just turning it upside down gives you. I've called a few bucksin with it and one seriously motivated black bear.

I had good luck with the can this year. During one particualr hunt I had numerous deer respond to the can. After making me, the deer would come back after I used the can. To sum it up, I had an 8 pointercome in 5 minutes after using the can. Worked for me on this occassion.

When I 1st saw these things 2 yrs ago in wal-mart I thought here we go again with another Tricky Dick Gimmick for hunters. I've had good luck with grunt calls - so why buy some Can Thing??

So - I'm standing there playing with this Can Thing at wal-mart.A guy walks up and told story about how he called in a huge buck with can and grunt call during bow. He told me some tricks on using it.I bought it(the big one).

Well - 2-3rd time out with this Can Thing I see this 6 or 8pnt basket rack buck on adjacent farm about 200yrds out while sitting in tri-pod in middle of field.Long story short I could not legally take the buck but I played with him for 20-25 minutes.Got him to 60-70yrds of stand.He was going bonkers tryin to find that call!! I have since called in many deer with this Can Thing.

They do work - but not always and don't forget the're has to be deer in the area for it to work.It might take 1/2 or more for deer to come in to investigate.Heavy winds also seems to be a factor.

During the rut when a buck is with doe(s) he might look around at sound but I've never got one to break away.Also - you can easily over do it with a can - or - grunt.

Ive had deer under my tree already,and played with them to see there reaction.They all look arround for 3-5 seconds,then they loose intrest and continue feeding.It didnt scare them away. Early in bow seas. i tried the bow-grunt set real soft and it scared the hell out of the does! So did the doe decoy,Man they saw that thing and ran like hell!Ill keep at it,Come to think of it,I did shoot a doe this year with a bow grunt.She had already shot across the trail in front of me as i was walking back twards my truck.I figured what the hell it couldnt hurt,and gave it a snort.She stopped,and came back to the trail,I snorted again and she stepped out.30 yd.dbl lung with a climber on my back.I love my bowtech
