Title: Deer horn Grunt call.........
Post by: alscalls on April 30, 2009, 03:05:35 PM

OK guys I have been making deer calls for a long time.....I have never shown one on the Net yet.
This is the first one I have ever made with deer horn....
Buck Grunt.......6 3/4" L and 1 7/8" at the bell

A friend of mine found this shed and wanted a deer call made from it.
He trusted me to try it....  :sweatdrop:
I hope he will like it....

hanks fellas...
As deer horn goes it was loud....I tried to make the bell smaller on the inside to keep this to a minimum and it sounded real good but on a calm day I would cup my hands over it some to quiet it down then it sounds GREAT!

I made a new wedge with a piece of felt on it and that seems to do the trick real well....
what I done was used a piece of 3/8" PVC pipe with a piece of 1/4" glued inside of it then cut in half leaving a 1/8" groove on the inside of  the wedge and O.D. being 1/2" I put the felt in the groove....  It done the trick!  :wacko:
A lot of tuning on this one but I would hunt with it any day...  :up1:

Thanks fellas after all the work that went into it and the way it sounds.....I wish I could keep it .....but I think he will hunt with it and that is important to me....I dont want it sitting on a shelf somewhere and I got other calls.
