I made this deer Grunt call many years ago. All you do is rub the big end edge of tine on a angle across the grooves on hollowed antler. It makes a "clicky" grunt sound. It doesn't work all the time (like all calls) but when it does..they come running ! Try making one..Jeff

If you make one..just put 4 grooves in hollowed antler part. Its the right amount of sound !

That is cool. That low clicking sound is what I hear from deer most often. Even during May Ive heard bucks do that. Ill be making one for sure. Thanks.

That is so cool! Thanks for showing it. I have an old antler beside me now and I've already marked where to cut. I love making game calls. It"s so much more satisfying to hunt with gear that you built yourself.

Jeff,does the center hole have to be a certain diameter to produce the right sound?

getstonedprimitivebowhunt · « **Reply #8 on:** October 21, 2011, 08:07:00 PM »

I have made a few in different sizes... They all had a little different sound.. Try making one close to size in pic...I bet it will be fine !

Hole in the pic, what size is it? Thanks for sharing, I'm going to make one.

Like stuff like this; but, never heard of it before. Someone explain it along w/technique please. Bet other folks would like to know.

JimB · « **Reply #11 on:** October 22, 2011, 12:21:00 PM »

I've never seen one like that before.Thanks.

And it doesn't have a reed to stick

The reed in my call was stuck this morning.
I will be trying one of these, thanks

what did you use to make the grooves and what is the spacing?

Keefer · « **Reply #14 on:** October 23, 2011, 07:19:00 AM »

I never heard two deer sound alike so I wouldn't think it mattered on the size but I have a few antlers begging me to make a call like that...I read many years ago about using a hair comb and taking your thumb down the teeth and it makes a small clicking sound like a grunt...Heck many of you had probally had dropped your reed out of the stand sometime in your hunting life and never knew you had a grunt comb in your back pocket!

Keefer's <><

getstonedprimitivebowhunt · « **Reply #15 on:** October 23, 2011, 10:11:00 AM »

...about a 1/4 space with a slight round edge sanded

getstonedprimitivebowhunt · « **Reply #16 on:** October 23, 2011, 10:12:00 AM »

...I'll try to make a video on how it works..soon !

BHTGdogs · « **Reply #17 on:** October 23, 2011, 07:38:00 PM »

that would be cool im trying to find an antler tine straight enough to drill thru so i can make one lol

I had just posted a request for home made deer call ideas when I saw yours.

So with your picture in mind, I went to my shop and made this copy. Now back at the computer I see all the differences. Do you think it will work anyway?

I intentionally left the striker long; thought maybe it could double for rattling a bit too.

I look forward to your use video. Thanks for sharing.

boznarras...how does it sound ? I'll try to get the video out soon..I'm having a few out of state buddies up hunting Ohio with me this week !
