Grunt Anytime

Tip : Try to match the habits of the deer when calling. Grunting can be effective anywhere, anytime. Many Pros always carry a grunt tube with them into the deer woods. Many times the grunt is the only call they will use.

When he or she can see a deer, they can see how to "play" the tube. The key is not to over call. Usually soft, subtle grunts do the job. They watch as the deer moves toward me. If he stops, they give him a low grunt, just loud enough to be heard. Many have called deer from 300 to 400 yards away in open country.

"Blind calling," where you can't see the deer, is very different. start with low, very sporadic grunts so as not to spook nearby deer. Increase volume and regularity as time passes.

Also use the grunt call in conjunction with other calls and techniques, such as horn rattling, when appropriate. However, since deer grunt all year long, grunting never goes out of season.
