Calling Blacktails?
« on: October 29, 2008, 10:06:50 AM »
I have hunted blacktails a long time but I have never tried to call them in. I just got two calls today, both made by Primos. The first call is the "power buck & doe grunt & bleat call" the other is " the can" estrus bleat. Like I said I have never tried to call them so any advice you guys have would be great. I have the rest of the season off and late buck and I was thinking this might be a good trick to learn. Also have any of you guys had any success calling them?
Thanks in advance. Justin

One time I had one of those bite & blow calls with the rubber band inside and saw a doe about 200 yards away from me, I blew the damn thing softly and she turned and came right at me focused on me the whole way! :bash: I am a trad archer :archer: and couldn't move a muscle. When I tried to shoot she EXPLODED as soon as I tried to draw. They might work if you are in a blind or up a tree.

By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

This may sound weird, and some of you may have had a similar experience.  I've called in mule deer (both does and bucks) with a rabbit distress to well within bow range.  Unfortunately, I was coyote hunting at the time.

Wow!  I didn't have the balls to actually try it during deer season.  Maybe I should.
