Some good calling advice

[tjm]

I'll grunt 2-5 times in a row then pause for 10 seconds.Repeat this about 3 or 4 times.I'll use short deer grunts until the last 4 or 5 grunts.The last of my calls will be long loud and deep with a rasp to it.

I'll wait about 30 seconds then smash a big set of antlers together and make it sound like war world 3 and keep this up for 10 minutes if nothing comes in.Then stop wait about a minute then do several long loud deep grunts

Dont do this when your hunting alone.Most of the time you'll get busted so have a friend(S) along to do the shooting and take turns from spot to spot

Set the shooters up about 40 yards away from the guy doing the clashing.Try and set up so the deer wont want to come in down wind of the caller.

I have been doing this for about 4 or 5 years now.Works very well for the next week to 10 days after that throw this idea out the window until next season

I rattled in a small buck this last week. I also watched a larger buck come out into a field about 400 yards away and watch 2 small bucks sparing for about 10 minutes, but did not come any closer to them. Hopefully as things heat up, the bigger boys will start to show some interest.

I shot a doe this morning that was grunting kinda like a buck.I thought for sure it was a buck coming in, but it was a mature doe with her nose to the ground and grunting every so often.She came in broadside at 10 yards and I sunk the Thunderhead through both lungs and she went 50 yards and tipped over.Now for the skinning, and butchering! Hmmmm, I wonder what I'm gonna have for supper tonight?
