    Suggest a deer call for me.

    I am new to calls. I want a doe call, and a grunt call. Please suggest.

    This is my first time back on the site since moving over a year ago. Thought I would answer anyway. I have pretty much given up on calls. They freeze up, they get in the way of bowstrings, and they bang on things. I have been very successful just using my voice. It doesn't always work but it is always where I can find it. I called in my first P&Y buck last fall doing just that. He was 50 yards out and going the wrong way. When I doe bleated him, he turned around so fast I did not have time to get buck fever. He gave me an 8 yard broadside and dropped 30 yards away. Best to try it on deer you can see that are going somewhere else. it will allow you to gauge their mood and reaction. They may ignore you but I have never spooked one.Click image for larger version.

    I haven't called any deer in, mostly because I hunt by a travel corridor. I have killed 3 nice bucks by grunting with my voice, to stop them. One was the one on my avatar. He scored 165 pts non typical.

    Thanks for the replies. Id like to learn to mimic the calls. In fact, a member here sent me a buck grunt, and i've been working on imitating it. We have deer all over our farm, in the yard even, so I can practice on them. Course, they dont spook easy from us, so it might not help me practice much.

Both lures at each place. i get does and bucks with them.I had a buck stop in its run because it smell the lures. I got that buck also.Just to give a idea to who want a different idea.

    I remember a cartoon in the sports section one hunting season. A hunter is sitting on a stump whispering - `Bambi, it`s me Thumper`! Now that`s a deer call.Robert
