This is an item that is going to be banged around a bit and likely dropped more than once. Also, having a grunt call that is well made (not just out of plastic) will help the longevity of your call. You can always blow less air for a quieter grunt, but you cannot blow harder than your lungs will allow you to! Having a grunt call that is adjustable for higher and lower pitched grunts is also critical as this will allow greater range of vocalizations during your hunt. When selecting a grunt call, volume is a major factor. A grunt can also be used as a location tool to help deer find one another, hence the grunt call’s effectiveness.īack to menu ↑ What should you look for (or avoid) in a grunt call? Typically, the older and more mature the buck is, the lower and more guttural the grunt. This can often times lead to a confrontation between two dominant bucks. It can also be used in pre rutting and rutting situations by a dominant buck to show lesser bucks who is the boss. The grunt can be a low grunt by either a buck or doe that signals a first level of aggression to other deer. back to menu ↑ What is a grunt call?Ī grunt call is a call that is designed to imitate the buck or doe grunt, a vocalization used routinely in the deer population.
There are many other more specific types of vocalizations, but for purposes of this deer call guide, these are the main categories to be explored. The vocalizations can be broken into four main categories: Social calls (grunts, bleats), mating/rutting calls (roar, snort/wheeze), maternal calls (bleats) and alarm calls. What a lot of people do not know, is that deer actually have a vocabulary, if you will, that allows for communication between members of the herd as well as a doe and her fawn. It is well documented that a deer’s sense of smell is one of its primary defenses, and most folks know that a deer’s hearing is almost as good as its sense of smell. For anyone who has ever spent much time in the field, you have likely heard the vocalizations of deer, whether you knew it at the time or not.
