 How does a person know the best call to use? Experience? Preference? Price? I personally use the Primos Hardwoods Grunt for the good price and it’s easy to use. My experience has been fairly good, I lost the bottom half one time and one year a call froze in the cold on me, but otherwise I’m fairly pleased using these. I don’t call in many deer on public land because I typically remain silent. I’ve seen a lot of advertising for the extinguisher call, so I’m considering buying one. My impression is that the call with the most advertising becomes the most popular. So, the question is: what is the best deer call and why? Happy hunting! |

I bought the extinguisher several years ago before they got picked up by whoever owns them now. Before that I had the hardwood grunter.
My favorite part about the extinguisher is the ability to unstick the reed if it were to ever get froze up.
Believe it or not that cost me a buck once years ago as I was taking apart my call to clean the reed. Heard something and when I looked up a buck was staring right up at me. Apparently he responded to my first grunt before the call froze. Lol.

I use the Hunter specialties True Talker. The nice thing about it is that I don't have to take it apart to generate different calls for mature bucks, young bucks/does, and fawns. While waiting after shooting the buck I took this year, I gave it a test on some does walking through and was able to stop them in their tracks with a broadside shot for a good 5 minutes.

Idk what I use. It's fairly old and just something my dad gave me, but after enough practice I can get smaller bucks interested with it now.

I've killed several 130" plus bucks with grunt calling. My tip's would be grunt softly and a series of 4-5 soft grunts. If a buck stops and looks your way. Don't grunt anymore. He will either come to you or ignore. Think most guys call way to much IMO. Never hunt without it.

I have the hard wood gunter as pictured above, as far as tones they sound good. I have no confidence in calling a deer in. I would use it to stop a deer in its tracks. This has froze up a few times while attempting to try and call in a deer.
