Fawn Bawl ?

Just wondering, it has been years since I used a fawn bawl. Anyone ever use them this time of year bow hunting?
Right now the deer are scattered all over the woods eating acorns and seemingly have no pattern. They do not appear in open feilds until after shooting light.
I would like to hear other's opinions on this.
Bob.

Me too. I have thought about it, but have always been scared that rather than draw them in I would just scare everything into the next county.

a fawn bawl is uneccesary - but soft fawn bleats work great - deer come in slowly like they normally would and since you ar calling softly they are not sure exactly where you are - which they would from a bawl. I think the fawn bawl would spook more deer than it would draw in - but if a deer does come in that guy will never stop blowing that thing

I tried one years ago. Sitting at the base of a large oak tree I blew on it for about 10 minutes. Nothing! Turned my head to look around and the big doe standing right behind me blew and scared the crap out of me. She was so close I could feel her breath on the back of my neck when she blew.

I used one several years ago. Thought it would scare every critter out if the woods. Made a few calls and the next thing I know I am covered in deer. So close that I couldn't even draw.

Alright, I'll bite...What is a fawn bawl? I'm taking one for the team here with this question, because I know I'm not the only one who has never heard of this call.

Exactly, a terrified baby deer. One that has been caught by a predator or in a fence or...well you get the picture. And it is loud!

I'm just assuming it's close to the same sound a doe makes when you pin her to the ground? Kinda like a rabbit or squirrel distress call? If that is it, then I know full well what you are refering to.

Except, we have cougars and bears in our woods, so doing a fawn bawl might bring the wrong kind of visitors to the area.

I have tried several, all with no luck. Saw a bunch of does one day opposite side of hay field, started using the fawn baul, bleat, everyone of the outrun hades, whatever had the lilttlun wasnt gooing to get them. Never used one since. I have used gruntcalls, bleat cans with great success, but never with a bawl.

I've used the bleat and got no response. I have had a doe come thru bleating and then have a fawn come in from across the field I was sitting.

I fawn bleated in a doe last year. I do it automatically when I spook a doe. I wouldn't call it a bawl but more than a calm bleat. Kind of a lost baby call. I have no doubt it works. I have an adjustable grunt tube or just use my voice if I don't have that handy.

I agree with Mr. Scifres. I have used the soft bleat numerous times on does and it is my go to call if I have a deer hanging up just out of range. I think a bawl would be too aggressive and have the opposite effect.
