oo_buck Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 SRA and I were talking last week about late season deer..... I was asking him which calls he thought I should bother with..... He said basically doe bleats... (the lil can). Then he said he has on occasion taken his adjustable grunt tube, set it for fawn, and blown it like a fawn that was hurt..... He then said that doe and sometimes coyotes will come looking..... Anyone else try this???? I tried it a couple of times this weekend, with NO success......

Stinger-Hunter Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 Re: Fawn In Distress..... Fawn in distress really works in the first few months after fawns are born. I've hear that you have to be ready (with camera) because they come in fast and nervous looking for danger. I have called in coyotes with the fawn in distess call but since I didn't have a decoy, they stayed in the treeline and never came out. If you are going to call in this manner, I would recommend two things: 1. Use a decoy 2. Set up near a barbed wire fence and rattle the fence the same time you're calling. I've heard that this make the yotes think that a fawn is caught in the fence. Added noise like a fawn is actually hurt will help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockefeller66 Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 Re: Fawn In Distress..... I have tried it during the fall when there were does across the field and they didn't show any signs of coming my way, they just looked at me and kept feeding.

Tominator Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 Re: Fawn In Distress..... I know my can call turned over a bunch of times early in the season will bring the does in looking for a fawn in distress at times. Never have tried it this late in the season.

VermontHunter Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 Re: Fawn In Distress..... If you have ever hear a hurt fawn,, you will understand this.... when using the fawn in destress call,, make it believable whale on it and and stay on it,, and be ready.... a decoy really helps with the deception factor...

Squirrelhunter91 Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 Re: Fawn In Distress..... I've never used it but it sounds like it might work.. oh well... until next October.. Actually.. on the Randy Anderson Calling All Coyotes DVD, there is a certain hunt where he is wailing on the Primos Ki-Yi set at fawn distress and he calls in 3 does. A mature doe and two fawns. The mature doe came in charging and the fawns just followed her not understanding what was going on.. They came in jumping and pounding their hooves against the ground on a run trying to sound as big as possible. Atleast that's what I made of it. He wasn't using a decoy and they came to about 10 ft from him, then figured out something wasn't right and turned around and booked it the other way.

Hillbilly Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 Re: Fawn In Distress..... I did it during the spring time and brung in a doe at 10 yards. I was fishing on a small pond and brung my fawn distress call and did it for giggles. Brung her out of the pine thicket. She looked really worried, so maybe she was looking for her fawn.

JimPic Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Re: Fawn In Distress..... A couple of years ago I was in my treestand when I heard a fawn bleating.I see this little button buck walk by my stand bawling away when 2 doe and their younguns come in.The little buck didn't want anything to do with them.Then I heard a doe grunting below the ridge I was hunting and the fawn perked up it's ears,flicked his tail a few times then tore down over the side of the ridge-guess he recognized his mama's call.It was pretty cool to watch.
