I didnt see anything, but I did get almost an immediate response from what was probably deer. Its not terribly loud, but then again a rabbit wouldnt be barkin at 50 watts either.
Seems like if you were in a stand, it might be just the ticket, for something in the area, and its free since most of us have cell phones anyway.

Perhaps if I had given it more time, or found longer duration mp3's I could really get a good response. My biggest worry is using my cell and having it get wet, or getting it messed up. I also use it as a back up for rescue, and communicating for backup in tracking should I need it.

I just was amazed at how I dont have to spend some hundred of dollars to get the latrst gadget to get a bear or deer in to shot range. I can just use something as simple as a cell phone, and I got a significant response. Not an animal in the clearing, but a result none the less.

What do you mean by "significant response? Did you get an animal to move closer to your phone when you tried it? If you heard an animal move away from you I would not consider this a good result. I have farted while on a deer stand and chased deer away, and this was done for free.

Heh, what I meant by a "significant response" was two or more animals charging through the brush to both my left and right. Not rain drops or something that could be mistaken for movement in the trees, but bona-fide movement toward my cell phone.
That is funny, you were issuing a burping challenge to that buck. ill have to remember that. LOL

will have to give this a try, but I am not sure you can use electric calls while large game hunting. but the Yotes. :chuckle:
Perfectly fine to use electronic calls for all big game except deer.

13. U sing decoys and calls:
It is illegal to hunt waterfowl, turkey, or deer
with the use or aid of electronic calls and
battery powered or other electronic devices as
decoys.

I used my cell phone and a Cass Creek Power horn speaker ($40) for two years before I bought a Foxpro Spitfire. Worked great and called in lots of critters.

Very nice!!!
in the small game forum on this site is a link to where I got the calls I use. The 30 minute call doesnt do squat. In fact I see NO animals with it. However the 7 second cottontail call is amazing. Ive called in a lynx (yes it was a lynx) and even a red tailo hawk with it. Ill be keeping that for next year!
