Deer grunter
« on: November 15, 2008, 11:26:08 AM »


Here's my first attempt at a deer grunt.  I did this one out of dyed green hedge.  I like the looks of the all wood grunts.  It sounds great too.  I've gotta give Marvin some thanks for some guidance along the way.




Comments and critiques are always welcomed.

Thanks,
Brian

Nice looking call. I bet it sounds good being all wood.

Looking good!  I like that artistic flair you give the classics shapes.

I think that looks great Brian. And like has been said, I like the shape and the way you treated the wood. Very nice.

i totally agree with you on the all wood grunt.  they have a great look and sound.  can both ends detach from the center or is it just two pieces?

It's a two piece design, similar to a goose call.

Thanks for all the nice comments.  It's much appreciated.
