20 Best Whitetail Grunt Call (2022 Updated)

I bought this about 3 weeks ago. When it arrived reed valve was not installed. I’ve since installed but will not stay in place. Inconsistent tones and it isn’t me. The sound is great when it decides to work but you can’t be fiddling with it while you’re hunting.

For me not worth the money. Going to return.

Bought this call about 2weeks ago. Used it once and it just didn’t sound right to me. Got in the woods this morning and the Reed is completely gone. No Idea where it fell out at. Pretty sure it’s not supposed to fall out.

Really angry as now I’m in the woods without a grunt during the rut.

Took my brand new True talker Og deer call out on Saturday morning. Did a bleat call followed by a grunt. Had a young spike running up to check out what was going on. Had a Awesome 8 point that charged up ready to fight.

The only thing I wish it came with the rattle bag. My Cabela’s store only carries the call only.

Watched a few YouTube videos on the extinguisher and decided to give it a try. I specifically watched one video of a buck called in with a doe bleat and then a buck grunt to re-enforce the buck to come take a look.

I hunt in an area where the deer are notoriously call shy. I had zero problems calling does in with the fawn bleat. I sat during the rut, watched a doe come through and a 7 pointer follow her trail 10 minutes later, I gave a doe bleat, he looked up but then continued following her trail, I have a buck grunt and he looked again but headed south following the doe’s trail.

I gave one more doe bleat, he stopped in his tracks, turned around and came 20 yards broadside and I tagged him right behind the shoulder only for him to drop 50 yards away. This thing is legit!!!.

To whom is on the fence of buying this product. Get off and buy it! I have purchased the Extinguisher deer call and have personally used it out in the woods over the last weekends. I watched the tutorial videos on how to make the different calls & sounds from the Deer Society app (huge help!!) and practiced.

Took it to the woods and WOW!! I would do a “blind call” and after that it would be 15-20 minutes and bucks would come in (button, spike & 8 pointer). This call works great with the Black Rack system.

Grunt, rattle and grunt again. amazingly useful!! I’m looking to purchase Phase Out face foam.

I went out to my stand and had some Doe’s appear and I grunted about 6 times and Within 2 minutes a 7pointer came out of field and headed straight towards the Doe’s. That was the end of him ! Glad I bought it , highly recommend.

My husband is please with it. It was a great Christmas stocking stuffer

i bought this a few days before open season for gun as my first deer call and I’ve already called a good size doe and a 6 point buck definitely easy to use and to change its call type. only issue is you have to remove the reed to change the call.

I just bought this call today and I am very happy with it. But I have to test it in colder temperatures yet. But for those of you who say oh certain deer calls freeze, they won’t freeze if stop putting so musch spit in it, and don’t call every 5 seconds trust me I know from experience.

and for those other people that are like oh my deer call broke it didn’t break it just came apart. Most deer calls are made to come apart.

Seems to work pretty good. The main reason I got this call is b/c I wanted to try using a snort wheeze call. Initially, you might think that the snort wheeze part doesn’t work very good because if you just blow into it like you would blow into a grunt call or a duck call, it just sounds like you’re just blowing into a plastic tube.

not much sound at all. But, the trick is to kind of cup your bottom lip up against the call. kind of like you would if you were blowing across the top of a glass bottle to make a whistling sound. Once you do that, you get a louder, pretty realistic sounding snort wheeze like you see on tv.

Can’t wait to try that out on a big buck!.

Have used this call on several young bucks, practicing what works and what doesn’t. They respond very good and had some fun seeing them get real aggressive. Have even watched them leave and come back to this call.

Called in a few bucks with the Trophy Buck setting and placated a bunch of doe when they started to get spooked with the fawn and doe settings. Works instantly. Worked like a charming deer call.

I received my grunt call today. The quality of the product is mediocre at best, the tube seems to be very fragile, like it won’t last if you adjust it frequently. The tones sound great, I just hope the product will last.

Shipping took 10 ten days to get, that was a little frustrating.

This is a must have deer call for mulies. I first witnessed it with an outfitter in Wyoming. Calls in both bucks and does. And they come in running. Also called in a coyote. The last buck I harvested with the outfitter was 400+ yards when he started calling and my shot ended up being under 100 yards.

I haven’t tried in on whitetails yet but I plan to this year (2016). Four of us are headed to South Dakota for archery and two of the hunters have taken many deer using this call. For the price it is well worth it.

Works well with Guam deers. Recommend more replacement rubber bands because the one already set in deer call was worn out and needed to be replaced.

I use this call all the time and 9 times out of 10 I’ve had bucks stop right in their tracks. Even after the buck was shot at by other hunters I blow the call and they would stop just long enough for that shot.

The extinguisher is the best deer call I have ever used. 2019 rut I shot my first wall hanger buck. I was walking a fence line between two fields and I saw antlers in the tall grass. I used the extinguisher and grunted at him and he walked right to me within 25 feet.

I took a knee holding my rifle up and grunting knowing that buck sound was not to be on his turf. I called in other bucks later in the year which give a 15 year old his first buck ever! I hunt a lot on a military base and hearing others using different brands, we tend to meet up after sitting in the stands.

Guys have asked me what deer call I use and how realistic it sounds compared to theirs. Great product the best I say. I do think having the videos on how to use the extinguisher are the best help on how to use it right.

Thank you Deer Society from one Minnesota guy to another thank you for this!!.

Easy to use and very effective with its calling range. I Called in a couple of bucks! One came in so fast that I wasn’t even ready for him. Definitely durable too! The only suggestion I would make is to perhaps rubberize or ruggedize the outside of the body so it doesn’t make much noise when rubbing/tapping against your other gear.

Simple bits of tape work well, too. All in all, im very happy with the extinguisher and would highly recommend it to others.

I Really Like the usability of the slide to change the vocal tones of the call. Seems to be well built and put together. Only complaint is when I blow into the call it seems to want to continue to vibrate and doesn’t sound like a deer vocalization at the end.

Not sure if there is a fix for it or not. I haven’t had time to mess around with it to try to make it stop having that reverberation at the end of the sound. Hopefully, I can figure it out as for the money I spent wouldn’t think that I would have issues like that.

Otherwise, I am satisfied with the call overall.

I found this Duel Call in an appartment I was working on and thought it was a duck call at first. After I cleaned it I gave it a try. It sounded like I was calling in a 235 lb duck so I decided to step outside and when I opened the door to go out my way was impeded by a huge buck with a rack that would make a lesser deer blush.

I asked him to hold on a second, slid passed him and ran to my truck to grab my 7milMag. Then I remembered I was in Illinois and burst into tears because I didnt own a shotgun and you cant shoot a deer here with a rifle.

I am very pleased with this grunt call. It’s easy to use and it sounds very authentic.

I have used this grunt call during the rut in Wisconsin. I pulled 3 different bucks within shooting distance for my daughter this last fall. I have used every brand of grunt call out there and this is one I won’t give up.

I also purchased a total of three more for gifts to family members.

This product appears to be of good quality as far as manufacturing and probable durability in field usage. Factory packaging is very good. The call I received was not as loud as the two other original cans that I own.

The only reason I bought this call was to reach out farther so I am disappointed. The duration of the bleat may be longer but is not significantly longer than my original cans. I intended to use this call on bobcats and coyotes as much as deer.

I called up 2 bobcats in the last 3 years of hunting deer in the mountains of West Virginia by bleating 2 or 3 times at 15 minute intervals. I may return this call to Primos because it is not typical of the many other products from Primos that I use.

This can call is small, but that’s doesn’t diminish its effectiveness. The sound is great and plenty loud enough, in fact better to emulate a doe or fawn, since the sound is somewhat gentle. olume is less.

Too loud is a deterrent, I think. Smaller is better, for not taking up much room in your pack or pocket.

This is my first deer call. I am in my 30s and have hunted the last three years and never shot a deer. Opening day 2019 I made three quiet, less than a second, grunts on the mature buck setting about 20 min before sunrise.

Out of nowhere and a few minutes later, I see a deer in the field eating. I made a quiet short grunt and then a more aggressive longer grunt. Deer looks up and it’s a buck. End up taking a shot and harvesting my first deer, an 8 pointer.

I am not an experienced hunter and don’t leave reviews for products I buy, but I wanted to here because I feel the grunt helped me and this was the call I used. Thanks, Primos for making my hunt a success!.

I have shot a lot of this ammunition along with family members and in competition. This is a great range/competition (USPSA minor) ammunition that shoots and does not jam. I have had upside down primers on another brand of competing ammo, but never with the Winchester White box.

Just can’t say enough good about this ammo.

Although we have used Winchester white box for decades as our paper-punching rounds, suddenly we’re having trouble with fail to feed, on both a brand new Springfield 10mm (180 gr FMJ) and a venerable Glock 22, which has never malfunctioned, but now won’t accept the 165 gr FMJ.

Both rounds are flat nosed, and both get partway into the chamber and wedge themselves, halfway up the ramp. I can’t say for certain it’s the ammo, but one brand new and one well-worn in handgun suddenly won’t feed a single magazine without multiple FTF.

We’re looking for alternate manufacturers.

This ammo works great in my Beretta Cougar. I don’t understand most of the 5 Star reviews as they all refer to this as 9MM NATO which it is NOT! 9MM NATO is physically a 9mm, (NOT a. 380) with an overpressure load (by SAMMI standards) and should only be used in modern, robust weapons.

This. 380 ammo is standard loading, reliable, feeds well in my Beretta, and consistently shoots good groups. If you are having issues with your. 380 feeding these rounds I recommend you clean the feed ramp and possibly use a Dremel and some rouge to polish the ramp.

This is great ammo.

I bought this because I have been using These calls since they first came out. Bought one a couple months ago and was changing the sound and stem broke off right at first joint. Called Customer Service and 2 days later I received another Free of charge.

They didn’t even charge shipping. LOVE THIS COMPANY!!!.

This is a great call. A couple of grunts and a few minutes later I had a buck walk out right in front of me. Easy to use and durable

I grunted in a doe with it, with absolutely no idea on how to use it save for what was written on the package. Would be nice if it had a lanyard on it so it’d be easier to carry

Works pretty good. Seems to be of good quality manufacture

I like this bleat. It has a realistic sound and I added it to my arsenal. But here’s the thing we hunters all need to understand. You can rattle like Levi Morgan, grunt like Michael Waddell and bleat like Wilbur Primos.

But if there aren’t deer in the area to hear it, they’re not coming in. After years of great success in these same areas I’ve hunted, this year, nothing seemed to work and I’m just chalking it up to a bad year.

The can is mis-leading. I raised deer for 12 yrs. This is not a Doe in Estrus Bleat. It is a Fawn Bleat. I know from Experience raising Whitetails. None the less, I have been using my old Can from about 9-10 yrs ago & it actually works well on calming Doe’s & yrling down during Deer Season.

I have successfully used it at Kisatchie National Forest in Central Louisiana where I hunt deer extensively. This year, I kept a doe & a yrling within 30 yds of me after being busted by the yrling using the Old Can.

Every time they snorted & stomped the ground, I would use the can. It would calm them down & they would go back to feeding on acorns. They bedded down by me, 25 yds away, til I swatted a mosquito. Then they got up & bounced off about 50 yds.

I used the can again to calm them & they came back. But eventually left to bed just outside of my eyesight. Later that morning, I harvested a 6 pt buck. I feel that the longer I keep deer by me, that there is a lot of Natural deer smell, rather than all that Liquid stuff that is on the shelf at the store, which 100 % of the time that I used artificial deer lure, scared them off as soon as they smelled it.

Real Deer will leave scent that is calming to other deer. An, that’s why I use The Can. To Calm Deer down & hold them as long as I can. Not to Cold-Call them in. I have used a Buck grunt call many of times to No Luck at all.

The reason that I bought this one was b/c I lost my Old Can in the woods. Hope this helps!!! Deer Man Out.

Used on blacktails and it works when you use the buck grunt in combination with doe bleat and rattling horns. Tried to use at various times but only worked when you use the grunt with the bleat at the same time.

Must use in good viewing area as deer will try to sneak in on you without making any noise. Also need to give lots of time to work. The deer seem to want to sneak in and do not rush in like whitetails do.

No experience on mule deer. Only flaw is it gets watered up and quits working if you use it alot. Also did not like the sound of the fawn bleats, Great buck and mature doe sounds though.

Tried it last Jan. bow hunting. Had no success at all calling in any deer doe or buck. Not sure if I was using it properly or allowing enough time between calling. Hunting out of a ground blind over a watering hole from sunrise to sunset.

For several days with no luck. Used in conjunction with Primos orig can bleat and rattle bag. As far as the call did not experience any problems has a good tone to me but I am not a Mule deer.

Picture is not accurate as there is no compass and DVD included. The reed is adjustable and Primos has several YouTube instructional videos. I have not tested it in the field but it sounds good.

Sounds great, projects very well even in rain. The challenge hiss could use some serious practice, but other than that easy to use!

Lot of calls on the market but had good luck with this one. Seems like they like the deeper sound. Easy to use.

My go to call for years was the primos rubberneck. The biggest downfall of that call was that it split in half easily (to access the internals to modify the frequency [young buck, Astros bleat. ]). To my delight, the internals on the buck roar are identical.

How it separates is more robust. You can produce more volume through the extended tube and it’s very easy to dial it way down and almost completely mute it as well. And there’s the addition of a snort wheeze.

Excellent call. Does and bucks alike respond to this. Best you can get.

works much better than a deer grunt call. makes a more realistic hog sounds. I use it primarily to calm spooked hogs when I jump them up,but I have also called hogs in with it. I have tried several other brands but this one is the best I have found.

I was amazed that this arrived so quickly; looking forward to adding the FoxJack5. Interestingly, the manual indicates that the unit should be level or above the caller, but at 100yds and w/ 50 ft of elevation above the unit, I worked, flawlessly.

What bothered me is that this unit was clearly used and returned; it was never even reopened nor inspected by Cabelas, which I documented photos – I paid for a new unit and contacted & emailed pics to C.

S. , but have received no response. A a 25-30 year customer, I’m disappointed. The bonus is that the previous “owner” uploaded more than a 100 calls. I know I have a wide variety of predators, but so far, crows are the only critters I have called in.

I’m new to the game and look forward to learning how to get the most out of it.

I bought my Patriot at Cabelas a couple years ago. It’s the buggiest product I own. It has an inconsistent user interface. Some menu options simply don’t work. The mute button sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t.

It doesn’t remember the volume setting so every time you do something different the volume has to be readjusted. You can’t do anything quickly. You have to wade through several menus to begin calling even though all you want to do is the same thing you did 15 min ago.

The auxiliary port will turn on but sometimes won’t turn off when you release the button. It has way too many of one type of call (squealing rabbit) and no Bleating fawn. And don’t expect it to work in below freezing temperatures.

Just before it freezes up completely it emits this god awful loud static and drives away every coyote in the county. Other than that it’s a good product.

Upon receipt of the FOXPRO Preditor, I unpacked the electronic CALLER and the REMOTE. The units themselves are well made and intuitive as to battery installation and operation. The directions specify the need to attach the CALLER unit to a PC with a USB cord (Not included in the box).

The cord ends are 1. Normal USB -> PC, and 2. Camera box-type USB end that is attached to the CALLER for animal sound file download and installation to the REMOTE, from which the animal sounds are selected and played.

The installation REQUIRES current JAVA to operate the installer program, which is not native to my MAC. Since Apple doesn’t play with JAVA, a search of the FOXPRO site revealed the issue, described a JAVA installation ‘workaround’ and noted they were “working on it”.

I hacked the JAVA install problem as described, and still the downloaded DLL library sound files refused to install, so the installation program could not find the CALLER, and I gave up and repacked the unit for return after 2 hours of trying to get the ‘workaround’ to function.

The company has had time to come up with a MAC solution, and in the meanwhile has essentially given up on macOS users. I’m profoundly disappointed and will hereafter avoid other FOXPRO products.
