A-Way Bow Grunter ,
I like the hands free approach and it produces pretty good calls .

I honestly have never had a call work for me (and I have lots of them) - most of the time the deer run the other way when I try and stop them or get them closer.
I to bought the translator last year and like it and also like the "can" calls. I know they work, just haven't for me.....YET!

Hang in there. Here are some mistakes I made. I had 3 different deer answer a grunt call back so I answered back. A successful hunter who killed 5 this year told me" once they answer back put your call away they are on their way."Don't answer back. During bow season I used rattles when nothing came I got out of the tree walked 10 yards and looked at a deer's white flag. She was on her way.Other hunters kept telling me how successful they were so on Jan.1,2005 while I was reading my Bible in my stand I used the Primo Can once. In about 20 minutes a spike buck came.high stepping looking for miss doe. I couldn't believe it. My trusty 30-30 layed the ole boy down nicely. I bought a nice 8 point rack off of ebay last week that I made into rattles. I'll try them next year as well.

just wondering, i've had trouble with primos calls freezing, anyone else have this problem?

mine is the bleat call!

The Original Can

Im going to have to say the Can. Just an amazing thing.

Big River and "REAL" antlers not synthic or a bag of wooden dowls. They may work but the sound don't carry.

i say primos hunting cans

The reason calls freeze up is because moisture on the reed freezes. I dont know of any specialty calls that prevent this, though im sure there are. I know the inhale calls arent supposed to freeze up as much. im really going to stick with my opinion on the can. i think theres alot of people that see it on the videos working or theres people who get a deer to come in one time with it and think its the greatest thing since sliced bread. i've used mine quite a bit and i really dont think it makes much of a difference. a true talker will work any day of the week and twice as good on sundays.
