Calling Muleys

[Encore 280]

Was watching 'em hunt muleys last nite on one of the huntin channels. This guy was using some kind of a call and it was really getting the muelys spun up, I couldn't believe it!! Anyone ever see this done?

Yeah, I called a mule deer in for my dad that he killed.

The deer was so rutty that I called it in at 10 - 15 feet, he didn't like something turned and started to go, I called again and he turned to face us and then went to leave again, I called again and he stopped broadside at 25 yards and my dad shot it (archery).  It was friggin' cool.  I used one of those Deer Talkers - little flat brown calls.

A buddy of mine called a Coues deer back after it was sort of minorly perturbed with whatever we had going on with a Primos grunt tube in AZ and I shot that but it was a whitetail and I guess you'd sort of expect that more.

I've never seen that before. It wasn't a grunt tube but kinda of a loud whine call. Maybe it was a fawn in distress call or something cuz the does would really come running in but the bucks weren't too sure. Whatever it was it worked.

[boneaddict]

Yes, it works

[Encore 280]

What type of call is it and who makes it?

[boneaddict]

Its a predator call, and its not who makes it, its how you use it.   Ricks distress works, Rainshadows works.   There are also grunt tubes to use during the rut.   Make sure you get a muledeer specific one versus a whitetail one unless you know how to modify it as they are different.

Cool! Thanks Bone. Nah, I wouldn't even try a grunt tube on a muley. It did sound like some kind of a predator call too. He was whalen on it pretty good. Thanks again.

[boneaddict]

you'll note its usually the smaller class bucks that come in.   I have only killed one decent buck with that method, though admittedly I rarely use it.

-The can by primos works too!

I have called in some doe while coyote hunting with a rabbit call. They were pissed off deer. Ears back, snorting, and stomping their feet.

[Kowsrule30]

I've called in more does then anything.... 4 decent non mature bucks.... And one mature buck.... Which my buddy missed twice @ 25-40 yards...... I dropped him at 50..... Most with a doe bleat..... Some with a grunt.... Shot a cougar doing this last year....

It was on the show Outlanders if you want to check it out. It was a pretty cool episode.

The last year you could bow hunt late in the Entiat ( without a permit ) I called in a nice 4x4 with a grunt tube. Worked out very well. He came in nose on the ground and fast, you gotta be ready.
