c_lou Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Do those of you who use the "Can" call blindly with it or just when you see a deer? I used it for the first time this past weekend. As I turned it over I remembered the only time I have seen anybody use it on TV is when there is a deer within sight. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Re: Question about \"The Can\" 95% of the time only when i see deer. rarely blind call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Re: Question about \"The Can\" Im with Chris on this one. I mainly use it when I see deer. I have turned it over if I haven't seen anything but have never had that great of a response. If there is a deer in sight they usually turn and come right in. I have used mine several times and cant think of one single occasion that I didn't get a great result from the can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanH Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Re: Question about \"The Can\" I have used it both ways! All been this year! 1st time i ever had a response i did it blind! Nothing was around in my site! I hit it and about 15 min later here come two does! Then i shot a good 7 point! I saw him and closed the distance with the can!

sportsman2500 Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Re: Question about \"The Can\" i mainly use it blindly. i figure if i do it then if a deer is within earshot of it then it may respond to it. i used it this past weekend blindly and a saw a 3 point come in with his head down trying to find the sent of the doe that thought was in the area. that's my guess.

NY911Bowhunter Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Re: Question about \"The Can\" Remember - The Beatty Buck was a deer taken while calling blindly with the Can. Either way - it will work if the conditions are right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billygoat Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Re: Question about \"The Can\" I have used it both as a blind call and when I see deer, both with equal success. Just like any call, it only works on a deer that is in the "mood". I did call in my wife's first buck w/ the can this fall, a monster 8 point, see his pic (amy's first buck) on the pic forum.

MCH Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 Re: Question about \"The Can\" Last year during the pre-rut, I turned the can over three times one morning. 5 seconds later, a deer came busting through the woods like a bull! He was an older buck with a heavy 8 point rack. He stopped 50 yards out and surveyed the area. When he didn't spot a doe, he slowly walked away. No amount of calling(can or grunt) would turn him back. A week later in the same area, a small basket racked six did the same thing. He wasn't as bright as the 8, though. He came within 5 steps. If it weren't for a misfire on my muzzleloader, he would've been in my freezer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
