Seems like surgical tubing might work for the experiment.

I can see it now. A string of doe bleats and buck grunts through the woods with lengths of tubing to each. You could simulate a buck chasing a hot doe through the woods and bring them all in to you.

I had the same thought about rigging fishing line to my can call and using little pulleys so that I could set my can call at the base of an adjacent tree and tip/reset the can call while up in my stand.

I just finished snow plowing and was having a cup of coffee.  My wife drove up as said you better plow.  It is really coming down.

I'm gonna get workin' on "The Grunt Plug" ... It will be hands free in operation and great for bowhunting ... Just eat a large can of beans and insert the plug ...   :eek:   ... Simple.

What if you attached some sort of pump like a bike pump or something on one end, or a bellows.

Bill,

Interesting that you should ask.

I just went through the entire post with her and she called me a dork.

Lucky for me she already knew I was a dork and I watched the kids all morning so she could go ski the fresh powder so how much trouble could I really get in.

She also said I'm may be the only one amused by my video and I'm pretty sad.

I always thought about putting a bleat can in some kind of holder that you could pull up on the string and have it bleat at the base of the tree....but never tried it.

:biglaugh:  Oh wait, that's what my wife calls me. Great idea for the coyotes, but when you do it, hook up a piece of fur so when you blow on the call, the fur jumps up and down. Oh and I was amused by your videos!  :D

I love it!  Maybe some of these ideas will work on a swamp monster, I've got in the bottom.  My Bride only thought I was crazy, until now.  Wait till she sees what I'm gonna rig for HER STAND!
She hasn't scored yet, so I bet she'll take the bait.....if she figures it out ya'll probably not hear from me for a while.  I don't heal as fast as I used too.

The grunt has always worked well for me but the trick is to make them think that maybe they heard a  grunt and come in and investagate. I usally just blow enough to get there attention and wait for their curiosity to do the rest.

Mitch, I liked your videos too, so don't be sad! If deer were smart enough to know how much time, money, and effort humans put in trying to outsmart them, they would be AFRAID!  VERY AFRAID! LOL!
    You guys crack me up!   :biglaugh:

What about attatching the tube to the other end of the grunt call and letting in fall to the ground.  Then when you blow your call, the sound comes out the end of the tube...on the ground.
