Title: Inhale/exhale deer call
Post by: B Hoover on January 31, 2017, 09:51:28 PM

First off I need to thank Alan Krivoski for the challenge.  Alan has one of my deer calls and asked a few months ago if I had ever made an inhale/exhale deer call.  I informed that I had not.  He asked if I would be willing to try.  If it did not work out he still wanted another deer grunt call.  Long story short, it was quite a bit more extensive than what I had originally thought it would be, but like every challenge worth every minute!  The volume is roughly 76 decibels and is within 4 decibels of my original grunt calls.

This is one of the two i/e grunt calls I have completed this week (I'm not showing Alan's until he sees it first).  This one is black walnut with sapwood and a small bark inclusion with black walnut guts.  Has the "hidden" buck profile the same as my usual grunt calls.  Video file included.

Thanks again, Alan!!!

Very nice!  I tried making one of those once, but could never get the volume that you are getting.  Once again excellent job!

Excellent job!  Is it a buck grunt on both exhale/inhale?  Or, is one a doe or fawn bleat, etc?

Thanks guys.  James, both directions can produce tending grunt, yearling buck, doe grunt, doe bleat and estrus bleat.  I set them different in the video so you could hear the calls distinctly.
