When and How to Use a Grunt Tube to Call in Deer

Stay With The BasicsUsing a grunt tube is an excellent way to go out there on your hunting season and attract deer. Know when and how to use this tool will increase your success rate dramatically. This is an instructional on how to become proficient with a grunt tube.

What is a Grunt Tube?

A Grunt tube effectively mimicks the sounds made by deer, mainly bucks. They use these sounds to convey a variety of messages between other deer, including mating calls and alerts for aggression. Hunters are able to attract deer by simply mimicking the natural sounds estrogen presents (the rut).

When to Use a Grunt Tube

 

1. The Rut: The rut, or the time in which does are ready to begin mating with a buck attracts bucks that have been otherwise nocturnal up until this point. It usually takes place in the autumn, unless you are somewhere else. Grunting during this period will often provoke responses that are inquisitive or challenging from nearby bucks.
2. Post-Rut: Even after the peak of the rut has passed, using a grunt tube can still be beneficial. Deer are often still looking for mates or establishing dominance, making them receptive to calls.
3. Dawn and Dusk: Deer Move the Most During Early Morning And Late Evening. This is when a grunt tube can be particularly effective because deer are up on their feet and sound matters most during this short period of time.

How to Use a Grunt Tube

 

1. Select the Best Spot: You want to be in a good location when you start rattling or using your grunt tube. Find a location that deer frequent near food, water or bedding areas.
2. Grunt Lightly: When you first start to call, utter a light and soft grunt. A loud grunt can actually frighten the deer whereas a gentle call may resonate with them.
3. Use Varying Calls:As they are sounding more natural, vary the rhythm and tone of our grunts to mimic what an actual deer would do. Bucks use shorter grunts when they are not aggressive and the longer, more drawn out type of call is used by a buck looking to find a mate.
4. The Real Sound of Responsibility — Call and Leave the Space Empty for an Instant This makes it safe for any deer to call back should a disk be rumored.
5. Have patience: It may take some time to draw a deer with your grunt tube. Deer can take some time to respond and come in where you are, so be patient and quiet after calling.

Tips for Success

 

• Familiarize Yourself with Deer: Practice Makes Perfect. One way to do both is by practicing with your grunt tube first before going out into the field.
• Use in Conjunction with Other Calls: Because of the versatility and significance associated with grunt tubes, they are also used along side other deer calls like bleats. Chaining these calls allows for the world to look far more organic.
• For example, staying awake as if My and Your Factor Beings. While your mind may be on trying to lure in deer, do not forget about the other wildlife or hunters that could also be cruising through.
