Has anyone used the Primos Can and

[GPHC]

is there more than one type?

Also have you had any luck with it after the rut?

 

[Meriwether Mike]

I have used the Quaker Boy "Bleat in Heat"can with some success. I purchased a Knight and Hale can last night at Galyans because it has a long drawn out bleat and I had wore my Quaker Boy can out. We will see how it does this Saturday. I usually blind call with it about every thirty minutes.

I used it once, and had a love sick billy goat try to climb up the tree with me! just kidding! I used mine a good bit this year with no results. seems like it would work though, Ive seen does walking around making the same noise during the rut.

Think I lost mine last Saturday. I don't use it very often though. And yes, there are several different ones. Primos has 3 sizes, not to mention all the others out there.

I'ver heard that they work but the only thing I called up with mine was a big black yote!

Limited Success

I have used the can for several years. Never had any luck blind calling with it. I have turned bucks around and brought them back into my area. I had a buck come through this year on Nov 13. He came down a trail three does had gone up about 15 mins earlier. I couldn't get a good look at him, but could hear him in a thick bottom. I hit the can twice and he literally came in a running and looking around. Unfortunately when I had the scope on his shoulder and squeezed off-all I got was a click. Bullet didn't fire. Would have been the nicest buck I've ever taken. He came in quick, when he didn't see the love sick doe he left just as quick. I definitely believe in the can, however IMO deer only respond to calls sparingly when all conditions are just right.

The "can"......

I tried that thang one time, and that wuz enough.......

No success for me.....

I have used the can with no success. I don’t feel it has enough volume, it does sound good. I have used a True Talker with great success, getting bucks attention and turning them back to me. With it you can vary to the tone, and volume.

I had great luck with the can this year in pre-rut. I called up 5 bucks in one weekend. All of this was blind calling. But I would say rut and post-rut, it would be best used after you have spotted bucks and you want to turn them.

 

[LAKOTA]

I guess it depends on the buck?

I've used the can throughout the year(s) and have never called in a buck. Used it several times when a buck was within shooting range to see how he reacted with nothing but a look or two, never came any closer. :

Of course I've never had a buck come rushing in like you see on TV with a grunt tube either.

The TV sure does make it look easy........ Mine has never worked.

My son killed this buck after using the can every 30 seconds for about 30 minutes straight....he's only 8 so I allow him to do this sometimes....he really has confidence in all animal calls....even more so now
