I have had great luck with fawn calls early season on does. I like the can calls and Have a great buck tube but I gotta go downstairs to see what the name of it is.

I am lucky that I have lots of opportunities to see how different calls effect deer while they are in the area. Having said all that, I rarely blindly call outside the rut. I always wanna see the deer and won't call at all unless they are leaving or going the wrong way.

I use a can and a grunt tube too.

I don't call to deer.

That's cause you are smart like me

I used to sell calls so I have a bunch. The other one I sometimes carry is a small rattle bag. I find the bag easier to carry than the plastic antlers. But some folks prefer the sound the antlers make better. I think it's just personal preference.

I have the extinguisher. It gets their attention and doesn't scare them off.

Old model True Talker. Some of these new calls just look plain old ridiculous

Grunt call, can call, and rattle with real antlers

Extinguisher works for me.

I use a rattlebag too LOL... I do think the horns sound better but I carry enough crap with me and them things are too big

I have heard a lot of guys say this is a great call.

I still have 2 left, I've tried other calls but I always come back

Extinguisher works great, plus I cut of some horns of an 7 point I killed a few years back to rattle With.

Never had any luck with calls. I will tote a grunt call sometimes.

The only deer whistle I ever heard that actually sounds like a deer is a Quaker boy buck brawler. My father and I have probably called up 40-50 deer with it over the last 10 years. He's had better success with it than I. He has shot 3 P&Y bucks by grunting em in. The pic in my avatar is one he grunted up but it only scored 121.

Extinguisher and a small rattle bag

grunt call and real antlers ALWAYS go with me. I had a can call but it went in the kitchen trash can where it belonged.

HS Strut is what I used to sell so I have a bunch of true talkers. Will never have to worry about running out. You're right about The old true talkers being better than the new ones.

I carry a Primos hardwood grunter and one of those rubber ones[don't remember the brand].For rattling I have the right side of a six and left side of a seven to hopefully achieve the tone of two different bucks sparring.For me calling has worked good over the years and maybe it's because I ain't afraid of trying new things.I call pretty aggressively also which is suppose to be a no no.Key to it for me is I hunt as high up a tree as I can get so as to be very difficult for the buck to pick out when he comes to investigate.
