DEER CALLS
 

what kind of deer call do you guys/gals use? and have they worked well

i use primos power buck and doe and a knight&hale rattle bag ive called in a lot of deer with them

have any of you used the can calls what do you think of them?

I have had the most success with the combination of a drag line and can call. I don't leave home without this combination starting from halloween on.

In my experience, calls don't work where I hunt whatsoever.(MN) They haven't worked in years and years of trying different calls and rattling. I think there needs to be a good doe to buck ratio for them to be effective. We just don't have it where i hunt. Way too many does around for the bucks to be concerned about fighting for them. Now i think a good scent can be effective though. I prefer code blue, i'd swear on that stuff.

I have had some deer come into a grunt call, however have not had any success with the rattling bag or can call. I prefer scents I guess, I wonder if it would be different if you rattled real antlers.

i got a knight and hale grunt and an empire game calls bleat and for rattling i have 2 sheds

I like to use the grunt call , rattle bag had bucks come in with both like useing it during the pre-rut.I 'm wanting to get the can call guys at work told me it really works for them so I want to give it a try .Also I use doe-n-heat during the pre-rut ,I just put somein a mock scarpe that seem to do well for me when I'm rattleing and grunt.

primos buck roar, the can call

RE: DEER CALLS
 

Very seldom have had deer even react to a grunt call. The few times I have had bucks come in, at least they have all been decent ones. I have 2-3 differentcommercial brands and one "custom made" ... I cannot tellif one is better at attracting bucks than any of the others.I have had zero luck with a bleat can. In fact I ran off a monster buck last year trying to get it to turn reather than contiunue walking away from me. He came out on a woods road and was working scrapes as he walked away. All I had was a rear end view. I rolled the can one time thinking he might at least turn a tad, buthe buste out of there like he was shot out of a cannon !!!

I got a pair of 2.5 10 point sheds for my rattling and I have a grunt call and 3 doe bleat can calls.

HS True Talker. I use it in conjunction with my rattling antlers.

RE: DEER CALLS
 

I use a Knight and Hale EZ Grunter and a can call.

RE: DEER CALLS
 

i use the big can for long range calling i finally used it this past season and called in the big 10point thats been marking around my patch but by the time he was in the patch it was to dark to shoot.

RE: DEER CALLS
 

True Talker.Makes just about all sounds deer make.Been using it for years,and yes it works great.

RE: DEER CALLS
 

I use a true talker w/ a primos cam duck taped to it.

RE: DEER CALLS
 

I use a Primos "can" and an old WoodsW.ise grunt/bleat/etc call.I've killed quite a few deer that walked out of my shooting lane that came back to the call.I'd say the old WoodsWise has been my most successful

RE: DEER CALLS
 

the hs truetalker has always worked for me.

omegasmoke where do you hunt in MN?

RE: DEER CALLS
 

IMO, calls are not nearly as effective as many of the manufacturers would like you to believe. At the right time and under the right conditions they may work, but as a rule at least where i live and hunt, deer will spook the majority of the time.

RE: DEER CALLS
 

What kind of calls have you tried?
