Does your deer grunt frezee??
 

Does your deer grunt frezee while hunting. I guess my Question is more directed towards people who hunt up here in Canada in November, December. I have been thinkn about my hunting gear. And one thing that really ticks me off is when the reed in my grunt frezees or gets real moist. Then it is not reliable to work or else sounds like a castrated GOOSE.........:D

Any one have the same problem? I know I can keep the tube inside my jacket, but with mitts on, fishn for the grunt tube is no fun.

Whats everyone else do??

Yep my grunt sure does freeze up bad. I have a Carlton grunt tube of some type and i am not too happy with it, I am changin it up for this year. It seems the call is fine until you grunt 3 or 4 sessions then the moisture from your breath must condense and freeze it up. I have to keep it down my shirt and then pull it out everytime when i grunt. It makes for more noise, more movement and more of a hassle. I would be interested in hearing of any grunt calls that won't freeze up when its dips below zero.

My temps here in N. Miss really don't cause much problem, but. I have 2 grunt tuhes and don't use either. I found that I can vocalize much better than either tube. I called in a 6 point (in velvet) from 400 yds. to within 15 feet of the wife and I. He stood there for 2-3 minutes studying us and finally walked on past us and returned to where he was before I called. I also used a deep grunt on a small 4 pt. that froze him in his tracks. Thinking that a big buck was in the area, he turned and returned to the thicket he had come out of.
I have retired my calls until I lose my voice ability.

RE: Does your deer grunt frezee??

RE: Does your deer grunt frezee??
 

Nope.I have one that you inhale thru instead of blowing into.Never had a problem.

One more vote for an inhale grunter , it never freezes . The model I have was designed for bow hunters , so it's even hands free .

Ya, I have that problem every year and it's been getting to me too[:@]. I usually just breath into it, covering the end until I hear the reed loosen up, then grunt. It's really a pain if you need it instantly. I'm going to try something different this year too. But you never know if it'll work until you try it in the bitter cold. Let me know if you guy's have any luck. JDinAB

Ya JD i do that also, cup my hand over the end and breath into it to thaw it out but every now and then the thing just lets loose and makes a very odd loud gunt. It hasn't cost me yet but i would sure feel like a dummy if there was a nice buck standing behind me when one of those stupid noises comes out of that tube.

yah mine does the same
i live in ontario and my knight and hale always freezes uip...piss me off

I had the same problem this year. more just cause it was wet wtih moisture though. It almost cost me my buck this year, but luckily I started to work in time. I'm definatley going to switch to an inhaling call, its not worth the buck or the frustration to use the same call.

No problems since I got my A-Way grunt call
works when you inhale!!:)

RE: Does your deer grunt frezee??
 

I use the Knight n Hale Ez Grunter and don't have a problem with freeze - ups. With this model you can blow or inhale, but I do find the blow sound to more to my liking. The key for our climate is keep the call inside your coat if you plan to blow it! I will also cup my hand inhale and exhale to free the reed if extremely cold.

I am sorry but anybody who uses any blow call in our climate and claims of no problems well I call........(you know)!

What's all the fuss about here? My grunt call never freezes, unless the temperature drops below 32 degrees. [8D][8D]
