DEER CALLING tips to success // Primos deer calls Explained // Call BUCKS into bow range

Click here: www.youtube.co...
This video is all about deer calling tips to success! I go over primos deer calls including the original can that they make and the hardwood grunter. These tips can help you call bucks into bow range. How to call deer can really effect how your hunt goes. Remember that blind calling will greatly increase your chances of seeing deer. Early season deer calling can also prove to have a lot of success. Grunt calls can be especially good for this. Once the rut kicks in you might think about using the Primos Can doe estrus bleat call.

Ive been using the can for 15yrs. Its great in the rut! Not at all times..but when you hit the rut ! its awesome

[@earlergott5514]

I use a bleat can. Only during chase phase. Very early rut. Only from the ground. Walking on the ground using the wind. Every 200 yards or so dumping a bleat can twice about 15 seconds apart, another sequence 5 minutes later. If does are being chased by bucks and are in ear shot of the sound of the bleat, the does will run right to you almost on top of you bringing the bucks in tow. The doe want to unload the bucks onto you thinking you are a doe in stress of estrous. They are frustrated being chased by these bucks. It works! Countless times I have experienced the same results with this technique. Always a doe being chased by numerous bucks and she comes in right on top of you. Numerous bucks in tow and almost just as close. My daughter and I call it a walk about because we move and set up about every 200 yards. Extremely effective in mid October to the end of October in New York state, southern tier. That is the long bleat.

I’ve used the can for coyote hunting, I’ve had some luck doing it to get some come in

[@Markofalltrades]

@@DerekUtleyAFSecForces I never thought of using it for coyotes. That’s a great idea

[@mikelee3291]

I make the short bleats by blowing in the hole in the bottom, instead of flipping it over. And I have called in yotes by doing the same thing just blow in the can a little harder to mimic a rabbit or pup lol.

[@joestriker2100]

Thanks. 52 years old and have not deer hunted since I was 15 with my dad. Need to relearn everything. Thanks for the tips.

[@fuckabuckeye4045]

I’m in the same boat! Just a little younger!

[@alexhershberger9389]

Just a tip, I accidentally figured out that you can lightly blow into the hole in the bottom and get the same sound as you would flipping it over. This makes it much easier to control the length of your call when using the can and sounds more realistic than trying to flip it for short bursts.

[@georgezellars575]

I just tried it!!! You aint lying! Thanks for the tip!

[@Samuel-kz3vo]

It’s supposed to be like that bud…

[@derekbice3312]

I've been doing the same thing for years plow in the bottom hole you can do long or shot calls.doing that I have called in big bucks ever year since.

[@elainehinton2860]

I discovered this on accident a couple years ago. The can seemed stuck so I blew into the hole.

[@aaronkeithblack1]

7:55 for the can...

[@fiercewarrior5686]

Thank you so much for enlightening me on The Can bleat call. Have had one of these for years and it's never worked. Had a chance to use this just two days after watching this video. The short bleats brought in an 8 pointer that I spotted moving through from roughly 100yds away. He came directly to me like being pulled on a string. Came in grunting and gave me a 12yd broadside. Got my buck just like that. Could not believe it. Thanks so much!

[@Markofalltrades]

That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing your personal story. Really glad that the tips were able to help you out. Congrats on the buck!

[@christopherd7922]

I would’ve bet a million dollars that the great tip that I’m about to share with you on the can call was what you were going to mention in your video. As you were demonstrating the can call it sounded like crap because it’s so inconsistent flipping it like that (not your fault). The best way hands down to use a can is to blow into the can through the hole you put your finger over. You can do it as loud or quiet as you want and as long or short as you want. It is 100% consistent doing it this way. When you try flipping it sometimes if it’s real cold it slips down fast and doesn’t do anything. The big thing is that it starts to make noise then stops then starts and sounds terrible. Once you and anyone else tries this then never flip it again. Happy hunting and good luck....great video

[@Wantsomemoore21Gaming]

This is the way I’ve been using it for about 5-7 years and my success has increased greatly.

[@jcc713]

Interesting tip..thanks for sharing. Quick question. So when you blow into the hole how are you holding the can? Sideways... so your holding it horizontally as you blow in the hole? Straight up and you blow in the bottom? I just want to make sure I am doing it right.

[@christopherd7922]

@@jcc713 Sideways. So the hole is facing you that you blow into

This makes complete sense! A few years ago I was up in a tree stand that I never see deer in so I wasn’t too excited about sitting up there all day! I was about to get down and I decided to use my Call Can in a short bleat like crazy just to scare any deer that may be near so I don’t give away my stand position. And literally a minute later a beautiful buck came crashing through! Got em! I actually forgot about that and still have been using the can wrong! Thanks for the video!

[@Markofalltrades]

Wow that’s quite a story! That’s awesome! Congrats!

try a light shake . Make the can make a YA YA YA YA sound . It will change your life.

[@timgossett2150]

I use the extinguisher,and it has Made a 100 percent increase in seeing deer come to my call. I have letery saw them walk 200 yard straight to my call across open pastures to it. The reasons is this is the most natural sounding call I've ever used and I've been for 40 years

[@mr.skeptical3071]

That's the best call

[@HookSettinHooligans]

Best call

[@gamonman3564]

Luckily I saw this video the night before opening day. We were cold and about to pack it up for the day. So as a last resort I used the Primos Can exactly the way you said to. 5 minutes later my 12yo son shot his first deer. It made a straight line through thick brush to within 7 yards of where the call was made from. In the past I’ve always used the long bleat and it’s never worked. I credit that deer to this video! And it was the big one! Not just my boys first deer but also a big buck. I’ve spent years trying to make this happen but the can used the way you explained did it!

[@charlessprayberry1048]

That’s so awesome!!

[@michaelnoeldner379]

That is correct, about the bleat can. I blow into the bottom of the can in short bursts. I've been in the center of more than 20 deer in a heard up a tree. Those groups of whitetails are Very vocal when moving on there own. When being pushed, they go silent unless the Very young fawn gets separated from its mother. 43 year's of hunting puplic Land has been good to me.

[@dans4270]

I was watching across my back field one day and had a huge doe stand up just inside the hedges. She gave a long bleat like you said and ran. Sounds like good advice, thanks 👍🏼

[@Markofalltrades]

Dan S glad it helped you out! That’s cool you were able to see it in live in action!

[@kevinarnold9009]

Two years ago I had a group of 4 doe about 50 yards away walking away at an angle, I used the can and long slow quiet bleats and the basically started walking up to me, shot a big doe. I hadn’t heard about the long bleat so I will try the short this year, nice video

[@jimpericaud6739]

I’ve used the Primos doe bleat for many years, during the rut in SW Georgia. And it’s called in bucks better than any other call. I have used the longer style of calling. Will try the short style this deer season and see if makes a difference.

[@austindraper6762]

What did you find out?

[@benbearkiller]

Same with me it hasn’t always worked and maybe now I know how to better use it, it may work better! But my biggest buck though has been because of the primos original.

[@theruralranger]

Spot on with "the can." I've experimented with it and found much more success with the short bursts. I've brought in curious does and had bucks come cruising into the area as well.

[@pensfan907]

Use to use the buck roar from primos but now I use the extinguisher, all your deer sounds are better and by just sliding the slide you can unfreeze the reed on those really cold days

Me too

[@stevenbates5921]

I've used the can ever since it came out several years ago. Called in 3 of the 5 deer I have on my wall with it. Never knew the tip about the long bleat vs. the short one but it makes sense.

[@stndupforusa8964]

I was bowhunting a friends farm about 15 years ago and just got the can.. I hunted most of morn and was walking back to clubhouse. I couldn't hold it any more and HAD to go number 2.. I did the deed and got all dressed back up and the can fell out of my pocket when I was getting my bibs zipped up. I grabbed the can off the ground and started walking rest of way back to cluhouse.. I started doing the beats in short bursts while walking I must have done 10 to 12 calls in a row pretty fast when a mature buck came running down the ridge from about 200 yrds away.. he made it to within 40 or 50 yards b4 he realized what I was... it was such a cool experience.. did not get a shot off.. it happened so fast .. by the time I got the arrow knocked all I saw was whitetIail..

[@charlesreynolds1565]

I have the exact same primos can call and I used it in just one motion, letting it do the full doe bleat and I had 3 different bucks come walking in looking for that doe. None of them seemed spooked. I hunt in Missouri during rifle season which is about mid November. Thanks for your tips, I will definitely remember to use them this season.

[@jesusoftheapes]

I have used this call more than anyone i have ever known . i have had deer come into the can with any noise you can make it make. The long bleat however i seem to have many more Does come in and when they do they look as if they are looking for other deer in distress. This simple call is one of the best calls ever invented and I think it gets treated like a joke most of the time and it is a true secret weapon in a sea of grunt calls.

[@patrickbarrett217]

Used the long bleat and literally watched two bucks walk out of sight I'll try the short bleats in the morning

Great video! After experiencing the bleating and deer vocalizing up close and personal. I agree with the short bleating for the majority of time . I have experienced a long bleat approximately 10% of the time from the younger dear only and the volume is on the lower end keep it muffled a little.

👍 have used the can call by primos for years as well as a grunt call I've had great success with both , better results around rut and late season but definitely like them and I use them in my arsenal

[@HenriVineFishing]

I bought the can last Thursday and used it this weekend. I should have watched this video first. Great tips! I was doing the whole bleat. It attracted 4 does with their fawns. They all looked weary, like if they were afraid. Maybe because the way I was doing it was a warning call...🤔

[@billyrayalveyjr]

i been hunting for alot of years and i use the primos can and hardwood grunter along with michael wadel 's snort wheeze caller,i use the hole on bottom of the can as well as turning it over and back up but first i like to grunt a few times then use the can to me it makes the deer know especially a buck whos looking for a doe in heat that another buck has stollen his doe or moved in his area to steal his does ,,i also do the buck roar on the snort wheeze caller i harvest a 8pointer that i have mounted on the wall ,by doing the roar one thing also that works for me is having a buck decoy out when im hunting god bless good luck to all the hunters

[@charlesfredrick4789]

I like starting with the flexible tube compressed. Making a slightly longer duration call, and extend the tube slowly while blowing through the call. I also take a small stick, and with the tube extended. I blow through the call and slowly rub the stick down the ribs of the tube. It makes that low guttural sound. The exact sound you hear when a buck grunts. Give it a try I think you will like it.

[@scotthackett4500]

Using the Can..yes Short Bleats...Ive had this can for 4 years..yes it has worked...but not always.. Yes I'm in Michigan Also..😁😉

[@nitroman1999]

I started doing the short bleats. I do 3 short bleats , then follow up with a few grunts. I do this every 30 minutes to a hour. Very good luck doing it this way. In central Arkansas we hunt in a lot of brush and thickets, so only problem I’ve had is when you call, and the timing is right, you usually see them at 50 yards out of nowhere. So you have to be very alert or you will miss them.

[@Markofalltrades]

Sounds like you found a great technique! It’s always a rush when they sneak up on you out of nowhere! Thanks for the input!

[@280Ackley]

I've been grunting and using The Can more years than I can count. I've called in so many bucks, I quit counting at 94. That was in 2014. There is a sequence I use with both calls, but rarely just one or the other. My .02

[@Markofalltrades]

What sequence do you use that you've found effective?

[@280Ackley]

A couple of soft bleats over about 2 min. A few soft grunts. Start drawing your can call out by tilting it slower. Then I hog grunt like I'm chasing and then shut up for 10-20 min. Then I get aggressive with my grunting again, followed by some bleats here and there. The biggest thing is to call with the right wind into a deer populated deer area, especially with good buck sign. I have called them from a bad wind, but you better be prepared to judge them fast.

[@pecha7114]

Would love to tell my story- Used a Flextone buck grunt on a 10 degree morning in northeast upstate NY where the snow was dropping super slow on first week of November 2020. I went to a blind in between two fields at 5 am (where I saw an 8 pointer exit this corner the day before at 7am diagonaling across open field 70 yards away from my tree stand). It was quiet with no wind and no action in the rut. So at 8:30 am I started a line of buck grunts 3 in a row moving from left shoulder to right shoulder (as if buck was following a hot doe) where I finished a forth grunt that blatted out a few seconds longer. ( I did this out front the blind holes - not from within it).......15 minutes later an 8 pter walked right down in front of me from my right between the two fields. He froze when he saw the fresh blind and started to lean away to run when I nailed the shot. He only made it 30 yards. Game over. I walked his path back in snow up to a hilltop overlooking the 4 separate fields. He was sitting up there with wind in his face and assumes he comes down only when does go into heat as scent blew right in his face.

[@Markofalltrades]

Thats an awesome story, thank you for sharing. Sounds like the can was definitely working for you that day!

[@evettathompson9701]

Primos makes a Long can that is specifically for imitating a doe in estrus. Works beautifully for me here in Ky. I have never seen a deer run from a bleat, but YMMV

[@timmyjohns7351]

I watched your video and for the last 10 years I have tried to explain to my buddies, who look at me like I'm crazy, to quit rolling the can and letting it go all the way through. To use the can like a grunt call by by cupping it with your hand and gently blowing air in short bursts. You have more control and less movement in the stand. I'd like for you to try this. You can get different tones by holding the can up and blowing in it you get more of an adult doe sound, and if you flip it down and let the it fall to the front of the call it sounds more like a young deer. I have had a lot of success doing this, and a few of my buddies that told me they hated the can tried it this way and had success and are all about it now. Please try it and let me know if it works for you.

[@Markofalltrades]

[@dgreenapple]

Smart points about calling -- well done. I've had success with a Foxpro electronic caller that I strap to a tree 25-35 yards from my stand. It calls in deer and most importantly, gets the sound away from me. The deer hear the sound and look in that direction. If it's coming from me with a grunt tube, they see me and get spooked (which is what happened with a beautiful buck - and made me buy the Foxpro).

[@Markofalltrades]

That’s awesome you have the electric caller. I haven’t heard any testimonials on it, glad to hear it’s working out for you!

[@dtmetaldetecting3111]

I've been calling deer for about 30 years. Even back when rattling "only works in texas", I would call n rattle. I've called many bucks in, some have become dinner, some laughed at me while running away. I hunt in Pennsylvania and can say that, without a doubt in my mind, rattling and calling has worked well for me. I also like primos calls along with mad calls. These have been what I've had the most success with. The short bleets that u talked about is something new 2 me and I will try that this season. Also, I had a doe come in 2 the can once and as she approached, I thought it was another hunter cause she didn't stop bleeting. One after another after another after another, and so on. She didn't stop in my view and I watched her for about 75 yards. It was a shock 2 me. After that, I tried it a few times while blind calling and it definitely works. Try it out. I know it seems like ur "calling 2 much", but I've seen it in the wild so I know it's not crazy. Good video and good luck in the field.

Well my biggest buck I have ever taking game to the bleat long can. He scored 147 3/8. It was 10:15 in the morning he had bedded down a Lillie over 100 yards from my blind. Me and dad was about to call it and I decided to hit the long van one last time and on the fourth bleat, I saw him get out of the fence row and come straight down the middle of the field and I made a perfect shot. So I can say my experience that the long bleat does not spoke the deer. I have killed four bucks by using this can.

[@boostimalaka1]

I used a can last year and a doe and fawn walked from behind my stand and walked about 45 yards in front of the stand, about two minutes later a nice buck appeared. I have seen deer look from across the field when using a long bleat call. These calls are hit or miss like using deer scent. Sometimes they work. The best chance of seeing deer is scouting and setting up a stand. Always prepare, see trails. Pre- season is the time to clean up around the area you hunt. I always had success clearing trails. Deer like taking an easy path.

[@mattbrentlinger1078]

I’ve taken a couple of good deer in SW Kansas and Oklahoma. Only one was called in with a grunt of any fashion. I have come to love the Can and that started with the original Can. Both states, I’ve called in old bucks in November from 200 yards. My experience. I know of plenty of personal friends that swear by the grunt tube. Using the Can, if it didn’t carry out the long call, it spooked deer. Tried a short or. choppy call and never got a decent look. I’ve taken my share of deer, 5p/y and a booner with a bow. Spent 35 years learning and teaching others. But that’s me.

I called my first deer in using a Primos "the can" she came in real fired up, staring and blowing at the treeline I was hiding in.

[@theyankeedukeboy]

I use the primos can, one full "bleat" broken into 3. 2 short and then what's left. The first time I ever used it, I immediately pulled in a 10 point. I know 100% he was responding to the call because he hurried in, stood 10 feet to the right back corner of my stand and stared out into the food plot. Unfortunately, I never got a shot on him and I didn't get him. Since then.... cricketes. So my honest opinion, if you do it right, and there is a rutting buck near, and you're quiet, he doesn't see or smell you... you're golden. Just another tool in the toolbox. However, I can for absolutely sure say that IF, the conditions are right, it will absolutely draw a curious, rutting, buck!

[@tallpaul1563]

My friend and I have used "The Can" long bleats for many years. Seems very effective particularly on young 1 1/2 year old bucks up to 2 1/2 yo, usually deer I didn't know were there. Haven't gotten much reaction at all on the couple 3 1/2 year olds I've seen and tried it on. Have spooked deer with it once, though I believe they were probably does. Bottom line where we hunt is, they seem to work, but mostly on smaller bucks so far, but all regions are different....The short bleats sounds logical, might try it next year.

[@BonesWild]

Thanks for the video. It's my first year out and I ended up i had bought both the long can and the short can. I wasn't really sure which one to use. Judging by the comments, it seem to be a mix.

[@Markofalltrades]

Thanks for the comment! It does seem to be a good mix. I think the best way to find out is to try it out and see what works best for you in your area.

[@michaeldaltonsr8954]

TY4tip!! Gonna try short this year BECAUSE 2yr ago, as I was removing (same) call from back-pack, a hot 6ptnr came rushing in when I bumped 2 short bleats. I ( passed him) thought he was just over-anxious. I had used the call for 20 yrs with varying success, but often noting consistent reaction, yet no over-whelming attraction. Maybe ya "tagged" onto something! LOL!!

[@matthewnederhoed3824]

I used the can for my beginning hunting, then I moved to a manual reed call like the one here. I currently use the Extinguisher by far the most versatile call you can get with no reed sticks. I am from Northern Michigan also.

[@Markofalltrades]

I've heard good things about the extinguisher. How do you like it?

[@shanelizotte6318]

I agree. I switched to an extinguisher this year and called three different bucks to me this season. I’m in far northern Maine where deer densities are very low so I was super impressed with it.

[@foxf6]

i like the part of the call that ask you, you want a trophy buck? why yes i do... lol

[@drmjruff]

Great comment. I heard the long bleat three times while walking on Sat. Alarm bleat. You bet, he or she saw me first.

[@Markofalltrades]

Appreciate the comment and sharing your experiences! Hopefully the next hunt goes your way!

[@drmjruff]

@@Markofalltrades Got a good snow last night. Hopefully get on some tracks and spot them first this afternoon. Going to try some quiet bleats and grunts too.

[@HappyHermitt]

The Lil can worked for me twice. The first time, I was hunting in flooded timber and during the rut. I heard a deer running through the water and hit the can. It worked. Second time I brought in a buck I saw browsing, headed in a different direction. I've also spooked deer with it.

[@jamesvatter5729]

First, thank you for your service. Great topic. Seasonal timing, buck to doe ratio and weather really matter with all calling. I've been three hundreds yards from other early season hunters that sounded like they were blowing trumpets to open the gates to the castle! Volume is yet another consideration.

[@Markofalltrades]

Great points brought up! Volume is a great thing to take into consideration as well.

[@DerekUtleyAFSecForces]

I subscribe definitely! Main reason is that you’re a fellow Armn AND your about the outdoors and hunting!

[@markmilner563]

A guy I work with loves the can for the first week to 10 days in November. I took the can out because of him. Nov 9 really cold day, seen a small buck going by, can called, nothing. Little buck kept going. To my left a nice 8 point comes plowing threw the brush looking for that doe!!! Walked past at 14 yds. Put an arrow right threw both lungs. Always have the can with

[@poej79]

Very informative video! I have had a lot of success with knight & hale grunt calls, I have also called in some good bucks with the bleat call using the long bleat. I will give the short bleats a try and see if it makes a difference. Thanks

[@Markofalltrades]

I'll have to check out the knight and hale calls. The short bleats might be worth a try!

[@robguidi4129]

Great channel , I just blind calling Everytime I go out and my 16 year old son does also , we filled out doe permits this year with out bows using the bleat . I’m a Air Force vet , thanks for your service are you active now or reserves ?

[@Markofalltrades]

That’s great you guys have found success with the can! Sounds like it’s working. Thank you for your service!

[@gordoncarr9747]

I am on Vancouver island, I have used the long bleat and in late August, bow season, it has called in Cougars two be be exact. We have more cats than you can shake a stick at.

[@Markofalltrades]

Wow! That’s wild. Gotta be careful out there!

[@wskoch]

I've called in bucks and does with the can. Last year, I called in an 8 pointer and he would have run over me if I hadn't shot him. I've always used the long bleat but will say that it has worked best for me on windy days. I will be trying the short bleat tomorrow. I've called in does several times with it during the rut. I think they just want to know what is going on in the neighborhood.

[@elijahbasnett4357]

I use both the short and long can, if you experiment with the herd that you're hunting, you'll find what works, but I've always had good luck using them both, one short call, and with the longer can, a little bit longer call right afterwards, does will come in fairly quickly if they're in the area, if that happens stop calling, it'll alert them. Bucks later in the season will come investigate it and if you figure out how to project the call with cupping the hands and in the opposite end of it, closing your hand, it'll sound like they're on the move and bucks will trail them right passed you, especially if you back it up with doe estrous on your way in, preferably behind/ downwind of your actual location, that way they walk right past you and they'll be focused on the sound and smell, and you could be standing there in a clown suit and they won't even see you. Almost as bad as a teenager on a cellphone walking down a busy street.

[@ovalmechanic]

I always just blown into it

[@graycassidy7525]

I blow in it or flip it like normal

[@ericbaker2023]

I was a Primos prostaffer for 17 yrs and used the can a lot. It worked well short or long bleating. However, being totally honest I always preferred the Primos Power Buck and Doe, which is a combo inhale/exhale which I would set to a buck on one side and a doe on the other. You can inhale from both ends as you demonstrated. Check it out, you’ll love it.

[@jeffbecerra1281]

getting ready for my first hunt, I have the rattle bag and a fast tone deer call, and on the yes i got one I have a butt out 2 , I herd they work good so I got one, Dec. south central Texas we shall try only 2 days open.

[@Markofalltrades]

Jeff, thanks for the comment. Hopefully this season you’ll be able to get one. Good luck out there!

[@eugenestevens5196]

I use the Primos can , but try blowing in it to protect the sound out further and change up the tone

[@dennisschmidt3859]

To shorten length of long call can is put a screw in bottoms of can which allows shorter travel of inner plugger.. play with length for personal preference..

[@kimhassan476]

I love the can, and as long as its not freezing temps you can also blow into the can, i hold it up and blow into the hole you cover, i can do short bleats that way too

[@jeffgoldblum2336]

Ive got 5 bucks rattling and 5 bucks grunting and 3 using the can grunting combo but I've got countless deer not using anything but scents I only grunt now when the buck is walking away from me I just gave up making noise in the woods it was fun when I was younger to do though but now stealth works the best for me and stand placement have fun out there guys

[@MrShysterme]

You can blow through the hole in the Primos can (I usually do it with it pointed in the air). You can control the bleat much better that way.

[@karenblasioli4056]

I'm in central Arkansas and bought "the can " a couple months its the long bleat . I have a security set up in my backyard I have deer mostly doe's come out every night. My security camera has a speaker and I used it thru the speaker with 3-4 Doe's within 6-8 ft of the camera at least one ran the others paid very little attention but 1 moved closer looking for what was making that noise. Having the security camera set up and watching videos of the deer has been really fun they have licked the camera and 1 big 8 point licked it and kept hitting it with his horns and looked straight into it .I have it sitting on a home made wire trap about 2-3 ft off the ground

[@haskellwarrior2443]

I like the primos rattling backs its mesh and not that rubber slotted bags

[@snipertv2755]

This make sense about the bleat..when I first started using the can 20 years ago (a kid experimenting) my dad said it wouldn’t work. Me being afraid to really use it I would do short calls and doe would come in at some point I started doing the long bleat and saw less deer. Fast forward to last week I was playing with the can making short bleats and a lil spike walked out. I just setup a new bow stand that has a nice bedding area to the north that I’m going to try it on. I’ll let you know if it works

[@indianapublicland7429]

Ive had great results with the long bleat. Have you ever heard a doe do an estrus bleat? I have several times and it is drawn out just saying.

[@fishgrubspinners6762]

I agree, why do people do videos when there not very knowledgeable. Never understood that.

[@georgekennedy3813]

Any possibility that you didn’t hear a estrus bleat but a alert bleat and still don’t know the difference in the two?

[@fishgrubspinners6762]

@@georgekennedy3813 not in my case, the buck mounted her. Also have seen it with pen raised deer. The guy admitted he had no knowledge and he was doing it wrong before, maybe he's still doing it wrong.

[@davidrick5516]

Had success with rapid calls with can. As many as a dozen or so in a row then break for 30 to 45 sec. Especially if a buck gets spooked. Two different times I've turned nice bucks around back towards myself from bolting, stopped them dead in tracks with rapid calls. I've pulled bucks off hot does with this can. I mean full chase lip curling and everything and they've left the real thing for the can. Won't go hunting without it. Also I buy new one every year to get fresh diaphragm for better sound. Best call for the rut.

[@jameslee7476]

I use the same primos can also use a grunt call called Duel has the same reed as your primos grunter iv always left my o-ring on MG brings them close every time but the primos can is awesome works every time

[@gabbypeckham6799]

I’ve used the can for years and I’ve been doing the long bleat it doesn’t work much but after watching this I went out and used the short bleat and called in a spike buck within 30 min

[@Markofalltrades]

Oh wow! That’s awesome, really glad the short technique worked for you. Thanks for sharing your story!

[@wileinthecountry9547]

I picked up a can the other day. Estrus doe. I called in 2 bucks Early morning. Then later that day called in a doe with fawn. 20 mins between Calls up to 5 or 6 calls and I switch between cupping the can to quiet the call down if the woods are quite. And blowing through the can to get the short bleats I'm after. If it's windy and noisy in the woods I just cover the hole as and let er rip. Lol

[@kevinsalyers690]

No luck with the long bleet call on the can, doing the short calls brought an 8 pointer straight to me last year
