Do Grunt Calls Work on Big Bucks? You Decide!

Do Grunt Calls Work on Big Bucks? You Decide!

The effectiveness of using grunt calls to bring big bucks within range is hotly debated by deer hunters at camps and coffee shops throughout the country every season.

But it’s been proven time and again that bucks are curious when they hear another buck in their area. That curiosity often sparks aggression, with the buck wanting to go and whip the interloper.

That interloper would be you, of course, and you better be ready. Check out this video of Tim Roller cold calling and a big buck coming in to his Illusion Extinguisher call to see what’s going on with the new buck in his area:

Reproduce the full range of whitetail deer vocalizations with your own Extinguisher Deer Call. It’s the only deer call that sounds like a buck, doe and fawn in an instant, thanks to its patented Modislide System.

The Modislide, found exclusively on the Extinguisher, is a breakthrough in deer call technology. It glides up and down the reed assembly, giving it the wide range of tone and volume that other calls cannot match.

Huge Deer Survived Nasty Fight

Huge Deer Survived Nasty Fight

 

Deer & Deer Hunting Editor Dan Schmidt was surprised when he realized the buck he shot had been gored in a fight with another Alabama bruiser.

Deer truly are built to survive. Take this 4-1/2-year-old Alabama buck that I shot in 2012 as an example. When the deer appeared in the food plot before me he appeared to be the picture of good health. He was thick, muscled, and strutted like the king of the woods. Little did I know that he was the recent recipient of an absolutely nasty wound.

After shooting and retrieving the buck, I noticed he had a 5-inch gash across the back of his neck. It was an obvious antler wound … sustained in a fight that likely occurred a week or more before my encounter with this buck. The wound had slightly scabbed over, but it had become infected and was oozing with green pus. The wound wouldn’t have killed him. He likely would have healed up nicely, and it probably wouldn’t have taken that long.

The buck’s wound reminds me of the research that we published in Deer & Deer Hunting a few years ago. In a scientific study, researchers learned that whitetails, when under stress, release high levels of B-endorphin. This natural release helps support rapid healing. Endorphins consist of morphine-like chemicals that are emitted from the pituitary gland. The researchers believe this allows the animal to not only heal rapidly, but to also experience little, if any, pain in the process.

One other thing we have learned is that the whitetail’s rapid build-up of natural steroids and androgens in the bloodstream assist in the healing process. Researchers have also found that high levels of cortisol, a steroid hormone, helps promote healing, manage stress and suppress inflammation.

Use it on scent pads, drags or directly on the soles of your boots when setting up your stands or scouting.
