Ravin R10 man Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 You are bowhunting, and a shooter buck is in your shooting lane..what do you do to stop him in his tracks? Do you use a mouth bleat, or a call? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom2008 Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Re: Mouth or call?? If the easiest call to use was with my mouth then you bet I would do a quick bleat at him. If I had a buck grunt with in reachable distance without spooking the buck then I would use the grunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

need2hunt Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Re: Mouth or call?? I prefer for him to stop on his own, but if I have to do it I use my mouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outdoor_Guy Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Re: Mouth or call?? I have used mouth until I got an Away Outdoors easy grunter. The tube is always right there, and it is easy to grunt and then release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckee Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Re: Mouth or call?? I would never use any call accept my own mouth call to stop a deer for a shot, and this is why. When a deer has entered your shooting range and you want to stop it for a shot, you should already be at full fraw, when making the call, because many times the deer will stop dead in his tracks and look straight at you. If your not at full draw, or haven't even got the bow up yet, you have a real good chance of getting busted. I always use a mouth call to stop em up. Sometimes they don't listen to the first one, so you have to wait until they are in another shooting lane or the right position and give em a louder nasally Maaa. I don't ever leave it up to the deer to stop in the perfect spot. I make em stop where I want him to, while at full draw It's never failed me yet.

[/ QUOTE ] I do the same but modified it some, I thought the rubber tube from the mouth to the call was too short and got a longer one. Works great and it works!

Guest bruteshooter Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Re: Mouth or call?? I've tried all sorts of buck grunts and calls. I want my hands free and ready when it's time. So I have taken to drinking root beer before every hunt. It makes for instant and at will belching. And my belchs have worked for getting them in AND stopping them in a lane.

JDAWG Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Re: Mouth or call?? I would use my mouth, because hopefully I would already be at full draw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Re: Mouth or call?? Martin, have on several occasions used a mouth grunt to stop a buck. If I am rifle hunting I might try and use my grunt call, really depends on the situation, but even then I still have stopped them with a mouth grunt long enough for a shot.

ilhnter Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Re: Mouth or call?? If the buck was in my shooting lane, then I would probably be a full draw, so I would use my mouth. I have actually spooked deer by grunting at them trying to get them to stop, but I have never spooked one with my mouth yet, but I'm sure one day it will happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravin R10 man Posted February 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Re: Mouth or call?? I agree with what buckee says..I use a mouth bleat also, sometimes A-way's inhale grunter to get their attention Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_lou Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Re: Mouth or call?? I would prefer that he stop naturally on his own, if I need to stop him I will use a mouth call. Not to loud or aggressive, but a nice soft MAAAA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest davidmil Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Re: Mouth or call?? I'll probably get crucified for this one, but I don't stop him. I'll let him do it himself or I'll take the shot. Of course if he's zipping along fast I won't, but a casual walk at most of the distances I shoot I don't want to do anything to alert the critter. Most of my bow kills are at 20 or under. There's really no need to stop him in my opinion. He much less likely to drop or duck if he's walking than he is if I alert him and he stops. Very rare a deer will slip by without offering a shot within range. I just don't like calling attention to myself with some noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
