...... probably sometime around DecemberBound2Ramble said:Ironicly, I also reported hearing a similar sound in Randolph County, posted earlier on this very thread
Now just to be clear, I'm well aware of the scare-tactic the ole bumkin so-called huntin guide out there at "Georgia No-Bucks and No-Beards" uses to mess with his hunters
Having watched the ole **** do it a few times. He takes a piano cord and runs it thru a metal funnell of sorts and you can hear this GROWL for about a mile
.........But what I heard was entirely different and subtler and much closer to a buck grunt than the "roar"the ole timer's contraption makes
I'm gonna go ahead and part with my money and will post that pick of my Booner on the braggin board!?

Men get this way when they drink and are at a bar. Its called testosterone.
That is why so many fights occur at a bar. Think of this call as deer at a bar looking for a woman that is ready for action and look back at the times you were dating and see what you think. This call may have been used at night when no one was hunting in your area. If you only hunt three hours at first light and then three hours in the middle of the day and then three hours in the afternoon, then you have three to six hours of daylight when you are not in the stand plus the time it is dark and you can not see. I too have heard this sound but I used it as a secret call in the past. Its more of a very agressive grut sound that is deeper and longer than a grunt. I will not use it unless I know that the rut is in full swing. I have used it for several years. Look back at the times you have seen a buck chasing a doe. You grunt softly and then get longer and more agressive because of the adrinalin that is pumping because you are trying to stop that buck so you can get off a shot. If he don't stop you are basiclly making the growling sound but not realizing it. I am not promoting this call or any other call. I just use what I know works for me. This call was made during a territorial mode that the bucks were in because of testoterone. If you purchase this call and use it improperly you will scare more deer than you will see. So therfore it will become a gimic. I too purchased the turkey whisle and have since thrown it into the flint river. But I have also slammed a truck door and made a turkey gobble too but there is no locator calls that have been invented to imitate this call. Turkey and deer are two different animals and use different statagies to hunt them. Stick with what you know works. If you purchase a call and use it properly it may work and it may not work. Videos are great preperation tools that I use to prepare myself for the season comming up. You will and can learn technics from videos but not all work in your area. Calls can and will be used the same way. Some work and some don't. I am sticking to what I know works. Look at the bow hunting industry. 20 years ago I shot a Browning Deluxe Nomad that would thow a 2117 arrow with a 125 grain broadhead at maybe 200 feet per second. But every year these bow industies come out with something newer and faster and better. Have the deer changed because we shoot faster bows? No, they are the same ones that were there 20 years ago. But they too pass on knowledge that they observe and use everyday to survive in the wild. I could still take that same bow I used 20 years ago and kill a deer today. But I don't. Does anyone here still use the woodland camo? Some do but some have to have the latest and best thing on the market. What did you use before Realtree and Mossy Oak came out? Would you use the same thing today? Those that say yes are the ones that stick with what they know works for them. Some say these people have changed hunting and make money off of consumers everyday, so do Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge and any other auto company. Every year they come out with something better. Do you go out and buy a new car or truck every year? Some do and some don't. I don't see many people on here that have a 20 or 30 year old computers. If so by the time they could respond to these threads they are old and something new is the topic of discussion. Use what you know works and if you want something new go get it and try it. Everyone of us do but just don't realize it. Good luck. Tim

high tech. hunter said:Wow, 54 responses! I am reminded of a quote from the Shakespear play McBeth..."thou think thou protest too much my dear..." I will have my field test report on line by mid November.
I just opened my August Georgia Sportsman magazine and what do I see on page 14?? New Products...............
New e-deer call from Primos. ".... the e-deer call should be set up where you need the deer to go and can be operated from 60 yards away. Using digital sound, the speaker can produce a natural-sounding call without drawing attention to the hunter's position." www.primos.com I'll put mine in the bed of my truck, since that's where I "need the deer to go." You can't miss the ad, it's near the Cialis, Viagra and Maxoderm ads.
But seriously, on page 24 there is a story and pictures of 2 good bucks taken in Crisp County Georgia a 125+ and a 136+
