Five of the last ten bucks that one deer hunter shot at came within bow range for only one reason;he used a grunt call. In 1997 alone,this deer huntershot three bucks and every one of them was passing out of range until it heard those guttural tones fromhis tree. Under the right conditions, grunt calling has the power to increase your chances for success by as much as 50% - during the last four seasons it has done that for this deer hunter. Thats a whopping jump for doing nothing more than carrying an inexpensive tube and blowing through it every once in a while.

Here is a story about Larry who is willing to call blindly. Larry sets up his tree stands in fairly open areas where he can see as much ground as possible. He wants to see as many bucks as possible with the intention of then grunt calling them in. He grunt calls loudly and often, even if he hasnt seen deer. At least 75% of the shots Larry has taken during the past five years have been at bucks that came in to the gruntcall. A lot of deer hunters will make heavy use of grunt calls.

If youre willing to work tirelessly in the backyardover thesummer you can extend your bows maximum range by 10 yards. But, by simply using a deer call properly you can extend your maximum reach by at least 100 yards.

When they work and when they don'tYou cant expect a monster buck to come running every time you blow a grunt call, but they can certainly up your odds. Hunter shown wearing Mathews Lost Camo.

You cant expect mature bucks to come running every time you toot a grunt call or crack a set of antlers together. There are only certain situations when grunt calling will work.Some huntersgrunt at every shooter buck that I see passing out of range regardless of the time of the season. On average about 10% actually end up coming within bow range. To further break down the response rate,we willclassify calling situations into three categories. First, consider the bucks that are just moseying through the woods.You can turn nearly all of them with a simple grunt, andabout about 40 to 50% end up coming all the way in.

The second category could be called mission impossible. When a buck is with an obviously hot doeit is near impossible to pull him even one step inyour direction. You can usually tell them right away. Theres no chasing, they are simply paired off and moving together. Then there are the third and fourth categories: bucks that are alone but seem to have a destination and bucks that are with does that dont seem to be in estrous yet. These deer wont come in immediately, but may come and check you out later. This group hasabout a 5 to 10% chance of responding. During the rut is very possible to encounter bucks in all four groups in one day.

One morning in early Novembera deer hunterwas hunting a tree stand near a bedding area whenhe spotted a pretty good buck in the distance.This deer huntertried grunt callinghim over but he had other places in mind and only stopped for a few seconds to lookhis way.He probably grunt calleda total of four times at him all fairly loud. Within five minuteshe had three other bucks that were aged 2 to 4 years within bow range ofhis tree stand. They converged from different directions and met for a stare down within 30 yards ofthe treestand.

Used in conjunction with rattling to simulate a buck fight, grunting can be even more effective. Hunter shown wearing Mathews Lost Camo.

They milled around for a few minutes before finally drifting their separate ways again. One of the bucks was too small to shoot and the other two were spared that day because it was early in the rut andthis deer hunterdidnt want to stop hunting. Coincidentally, two weeks laterhe shot one of them from the same tree stand as he followed a doe past.

Almost an hour after the bucks dispersed, the onehe had originally gruntcalled to came sneaking in. He was very alert and obviously looking for the source of the sound. He too turned out to be good but not good enough. That morning was very exciting and very enlightening.

The original buck remembered the grunt call and when his mission was over, whatever it was, he naturally drifted over to check things out.Some bucks that were chasing does come in well after the fact, too. Remember, most things dont happen fast in a whitetails world. An hour is nothing to them.Some deer stand in one place chewing their cuds for a lot longer than that. Stay alert at all times, just because a buck doesnt come in right away doesnt mean he isnt going to come in at all.

Calling too much can educate your local deer herd and reduce its effectiveness. Hunter shown wearing Mathews Lost Camo.

Before you start to compare your success rate toother deer huntersand come to the conclusion thatthis storyhasbeen sniffing Fletch-Tite, let's qualifythe statistics by saying thatin this particular scenario this hunter ishunting areas that receive some hunting pressure by other bowhunters but not a tremendous amount. Some of the deerthis deer hunterhunts have surely become educated to the fact that not all gruntcalls come from deer, (one of the reasonssome deer huntersdont like blind calling) but the call-leery are in the minority. If you hunt in areas that receive a lot of hunting pressure youre calling success rates will be lower than this, but they will be better than zero. As little effort as it takes to blow into a grunt call, even a 5% call-in rate is worth the trouble.

How much is too much?

Like anything else you do in the woods; you can go overboard and grunt call too much. The result is educated deer and more difficult hunting. In the example that was presented earlier, when those three bucks came to the grunt calling any one of them, or all of them, could easily have spottedthe deer hunteror smelledhim and been wary of his tree stand for the rest of the season. In the end the deer hunterended up shooting one of them later and that never would have happened had he busted me.
