BEST DEER CALLING VIDEO | How to Grunt Call BIG Bucks

[@lcjjr.6714]

Those were the worst buck grunts and doe bleats that I ever heard! Goes to show you you don’t have to be perfect to still call in a horny buck!

[@WeekendWoodsmen]

Yup and they have worked numerous times. Send me your how to video so I know what good ones sound like. Thanks!

[@JoeyDavis-nm7ok]

No kiddin lmao I've heard and seen WAY better.

Bro my jaw dropped 😂this is why I use a whisker biscuit!

[@WeekendWoodsmen]

It still hurts!

[@aaronnaquin8255]

@@WeekendWoodsmen brother it happens to the best of us but this is why I switched back to a whisker biscuits I mean things can still happen you got a little bit of rub noises but they work I’ve had deer close and draw back and they look dead in your direction bc they heard the arrow rubbing the biscuit

[@WeekendWoodsmen]

it's always something - until everything goes right! haha feels rare sometimes tho@@aaronnaquin8255

Ooooooohhhh. Too bad man. Such a nice buck... but there will be others. Thanks for sharing!

Wow. amazing call back. Thank you so much for this real deal! Keep it real!

[@WeekendWoodsmen]

Thanks for the comment! We will!

[@garyhughes7737]

Ouch , I bet that series of events felt like an eternity. When he stepped into the shooting lane was a huge accomplishment in itself and to self film it just takes it to a whole different level

[@WeekendWoodsmen]

So close! It hurt for a long time. Took me about a year to stop thinking “man he would look good on my wall right there” every morning. Now 4 years later I only do it every once in a while 🤣

[@garyhughes7737]

@@WeekendWoodsmen I know the feeling , I missed a giant forked 6 pointer 3 years ago , the following year had him on camera and he got even bigger. Last year he vanished I thought he was dead. This year I had 3 encounters with him in 2 weeks and he eluded me every time. Well 3 weeks ago one of my hunting buddies saw him dead on the side of the road, from the night I missed him up until even today that deer haunts me. He was only a 6 pointer but he was about 22 inches wide and the G2s were about 12 inches and had mass, huge body probably over 200lbs on foot. Just an impressive deer to see. I don't know that I will ever have any closure with that one.

[@WeekendWoodsmen]

@@garyhughes7737 it will get better with time. That buck we had countless pictures up multiple encounters and last year when he was 7, another hunter killed him and we saw him on Facebook. I do think someone else killing him was better than finding him hit by a car, I will give you that. Good luck this year!

[@jayonez137]

And that ladies and gentlemen is exactly how It’s done

[@WeekendWoodsmen]

🤣 thank you!

[@smallfish6355]

This video just made me not want a fall away rest the same way videos about mechanicals failing makes me not want those. Great calling demonstration tho! What a heartbreak:/ I can feel the pain from here

[@WeekendWoodsmen]

It was rough! I still use one, mainly because I took it to a bow shop right after and discovered the tension was incorrect. It just happened to surface at the worst possible time. Once corrected I have shot 1000s of times with no issue. That being said, it is still an obvious point of failure that one could argue is unnecessary

[@millatime62401]

So many variables that can go wrong. Thanks for sharing this. I’ve had something similar happen to me I know the feeling when the big one trots away.

[@WeekendWoodsmen]

Thanks! It still stings!

[@LeighJohnson-ny5tn]

Great work, thank you for the lesson! Next time you’ll have him.

[@mattalley7646]

That was a brute! 3 years ago I was hunting what I thought was a 160" 8pt in South central Wisconsin. On November 20th I called that buck at 11am from over 200yds away cruising the down wind side of a bedding area. I called him across a field into heavy bush only to miss low. He actually scored 176" typical 8pt. Truly the biggest deer I've ever taken. I know this cause I missed him Wednesday morning then Saturday morning was opener of Rifle season and he tried the same path cept I was holding my Browning Abolt in 260Remington. He only ran 25yds from poi! I find a buck roar will bring the big boss in over any other call but it's still a crap shoot with calling whitetails

[@WeekendWoodsmen]

Thanks for the comment and the tip! That’s a great story, glad yours ended better than ours! We chased this buck for 3 more years before someone shot him last year 😔

[@drewcrawford2945]

Great video man. Good tips and I too missed a buck, not that big of course, but the same way and wasn't sure what went wrong, but I thought it had to do with the fall away rest so I went to the whisker biscuit and been using one ever since but that's what must have happened to me as well. But that's why it's called hunting, can't get em all. Stay safe and happy hunting.

[@WeekendWoodsmen]

Appreciate the comment! It’s though when you miss, and we chased that deer for 2 more years until he got killed a couple weeks ago. Good luck to you as well!

[@samlipsit517]

Awesome content and you are a great story teller… Got my sub !!! Hate to say it but, Awesome ending !!! Reminds me of the good ole days… Hunting at an early age was one of the coolest things my Dad ever did for me. I remember driving in the back of a pickup in a bench seat facing back, no heat , 3 hrs to the Catskills mountain cabin. And you know where all the gear was..there were normally 4 Guys…so I had an Arsenal in the back. Next morning 4 am walking up the mountain pitch black by myself with a 40 40 rifle, If I’m not mistaken, cause Dad had the 30@6… And no one used that but him.. I traded my Dad a 760 pump for a 1100 , and to this day he still kicks himself. Anyway if anyone reads this, my Bow hunting experience in the pine barrens of Long Island were the very best times, and that is we’re I could a ton of crazy stories. I found you never know what to expect , so be ready as you can for anything !

[@WeekendWoodsmen]

Appreciate the sun and the story! I have a 2 and 5 year old and I am starting to introduce them (trying not to push it or be too early). They love eating deer meat and get excited when I bring it home! Love checking the trail camera out back and seeing what’s on it! Good luck to you and thanks again for the comment and the sub!

I was like dang! But it happens to us all!

[@WeekendWoodsmen]

It was a big time bummer!

[@marcosgonzalez6545]

I choked on a 200. I was sick! Neighbor got it and it scored 206. I'm 47 now and bringing back out my bow here in Kentucky. Their are so many quality bucks. No one bow hunts around me and our property has become a sanctuary. 30 yards off my back porch they come up for acorns. They are off limits my wife says. So to the back woods I go.

[@WeekendWoodsmen]

@@marcosgonzalez6545 glad you are getting back into it! Good luck!

[@wild_wyoming6392]

Looks like he was limping from the start already. May not have felt up to a buck fight.

[@robertgarza9714]

[@bigcatdaddy7573]

Nice buck! I noticed he was limping.

[@WeekendWoodsmen]

Thanks! Yes he was. That year (when he was 4) was his best year rack wise. He has gone down hill every year since then, but even this year (he is 6) he is still alive. The limb was temporary but recovering may have permanently affected his rack

[@rangerrick8220]

Yeah me too - wondered about that.

[@larrythompson5617]

It was a good aiming shot but the only issue I saw was that he was alert and the issue with this is that they are known to "jump the string". That is exactly what happened in your scenerio. This is the reason I always wait until the deer is relaxed, head down and eating. Time permitting of course. They are less prone to "jump the string". Just my 2 cents. Very informative

[@WeekendWoodsmen]

Thanks of the comment. Unfortunately in this case it was 2 feet high, so any movement didn’t matter I was aimed low on him also. My fall away rest didn’t drop and it made the shot go way high and the arrow was wobbling like crazy! I have found through shooting filming lots of deer, head up or head down, they are going to jump the string to some extent. There is actually some research out there by Dr. Grant Woods shows how when they are head down they drop even MORE. It’s pretty interesting and worth watching! Good luck this year, thanks again for the comment!

What state you in my man

[@charliec4841]

Does calling them like that work before the rut?

[@WeekendWoodsmen]

It’s not as effective, but if you see a big buck and you know he isn’t going to come, what do you have to lose?

[@MrFishguy60]

Excellent job of self-filming. You let it creep?

Good old Buck fever right there not making sure your equipment in tip top shape ouch

[@WeekendWoodsmen]

I think it was just a freak occurrence the tension on the fall away had reduced over time and this was the first time it failed, despite shooting consistently over the summer. Wasn’t until I took it in to the bow shop that he discovered the tension had reduced slightly.

[@WeekendWoodsmen]

catastrophic is a great word for this...!!!

[@st.paulmn9159]

Wouldn’t it be ethical to let the deer breed & shoot them afterwards? This is effectively taking the 12” crappies

[@WeekendWoodsmen]

Shooting a buck won’t effect breeding, other bucks will find the hot does and breed them. If they don’t get bred they come back in heat ~28 days later and will get bred then.

[@st.paulmn9159]

Weekend Woodsmen The good bucks though. The genes will never propagate. I’d rather take a buck a month after rut Unless there are just tons of whitetail out there So maybe i am a fool.

[@WeekendWoodsmen]

Many of these deer you never see again or have very little chance of seeing them during daylight after the rut. I personally don’t shoot bucks unless they are 3 years old or older, so they had 2+ years to spread genes. So when it comes to shooting a buck during the rut or not shooting a buck during the year, I am picking to shoot the buck.

[@st.paulmn9159]

Weekend Woodsmen try coming to Minnesota 95% of the land has been destroyed by agricultural & all we got to show for it is a bunch of broke dairy farmers

[@jax9224]

I would NOT pass on that deer and I don’t think you would either but that is my opinion
