GRUNT TUBES

I use the same musical instrument select grade wood in my whitetail deer grunt tube line that I use in my turkey pots and duck calls. I use a field tested and proven injection molded, single reed plastic insert with an adjustable expansion tube. The insert can be easily removed and the mylar reed adjusted to offer a wide range of sounds. And as always, I individually handcraft and tune each deer grunt tube. If I wouldn't use it, I won't sell it.
A large number of whitetail hunters don’t have much confidence in deer grunt tubes. Countless hunters have tried tempting bucks into the kill zone with grunt calls, but haven't much success. Consider these tips before you retire your grunt calls to your hunting junk drawer.
Many of the same reasons rattling works or more specifically, doesn’t work, holds true for grunting. As renowned whitetail biologist Dr. Mickey Hellickson determined, soft rattling is far less effective than loud, aggressive rattling. With that in mind, consider just how quiet a grunt tube really is and consider the various factors working against you. No matter how often you blow on a grunt tube, there’s a good chance no buck is within earshot. During extensive testing and trials, Hellickson actually drew in a few bucks with only a grunt tube, but he typically incorporated a soft grunting sequence into his loud rattling sequences. Bucks grunt year-round, so there really is no wrong time or place to use one. Deer grunt as a way to look for each other. Kind of a “Here I am. Where are you?” Most of the time you should offer just a quick, soft grunt or two, but as the rut draws nearer, start using the tending grunt. A tending grunt is simply a series of grunts that could be compared to a winded person who is trying to talk while attempting to catch his breath. It’s almost as if bucks are grunting as they inhale and exhale. Bucks do it as they are chasing doe during the rut. Keep in mind, as previously stated, you should also throw in grunts between rattling sequences to add more realism.
