huntrman Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 Yeah I would say the 'Lil Can or a soft young buck grunt as well as some soft doe grunts maybe for early season. I don't call that often, so I can't elaborate too much. I'm kind of interested to know myself. Good topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchies Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 Re: too early for calls Doe bleet, young buck, doe in estrous. Now is pretty much primetime for calling. We are starting pre rut here and once rut hits they don't respond much unless it it dominant buck or young buck grunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest generallee Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 Re: too early for calls I think it has a lot to do with where your at too. The rut kicks in at different times depending on where your at. I know in the area i hunt in GA, its middle of november. In alabama where i hunt occasionally its not til january. In the area my cousin hutns in wisconsin its the end of october. I usually dont start calliing a whole lot til the last week of october. Ive called earlier, but in my neck of the woods, i have more sucess during this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest madabouthuntin Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 Re: too early for calls I would use a grunt all season long as well as the can. I called a doe in last year using the can. I would also start rattling. Once a deer's antlers harden they will start testing each other. Almost playing at first and will then get much more intense. I rattled a 5 pointer in this past weekend. As far as how often to do these things. You will hear different things from different people. The most common for grunting is between 15 to 30 minutes give a soft single grunt. This is a common non agressive grunt. I have heard that it is like an invite for company when they come into a new area. As far as rattling. I have heard every 30 minutes. If you are to do it. earlier in the season start with light tinking of antlers and then grow heavier as it approaches chase stage.
