    Default Another \"The Can\" question....

    I bought one of the "Lil Cans" a few years back and although "I" think it sounds good I must admit it does not seem to draw anything in. Even if I can see the deer they could care less.
    I was thinking of buying the larger version. Not sure, but I would think the larger version would create more sound volume and maybe a deeper tone.
    Users of "The Can", which size do you use? Results?
    Thanks!

    I use the original also. Have only called deer in once though. Like anything else, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

    the little can sounds like a fawn to me, the big can sounds like a cow to me.

    i've had decent results with the medium can.

    I mostly use the original can (or medium size), the big can does have more volume and a deeper tone... my honest opinion is the original is the best one, even though all will work

    Yes the medium Can is what I was refering too. Not the "Great Big Can" as I think they call it. LOL
    I went with the smallest one for the wrong reasons..
    More for pocket size then calling ability. I prefer Primos calls so I figured it was a good one.

    I use the original can and just called a buck in on Tues with it. I prefer blowing in the hole instead of turning it. I think that you can control volume and tune of it better plus mine always would stick and sound like a deer with a stuttering problem.

    I use the original can too and it works sometimes. I have had mixed reactions to it.

    I shop way too much (or so I have been told!) and have all three of the cans. The only one we have had any luck with was the medium sized one, and have called in both a buck and a doe with it. Was funny because the doe kept circling around and looking all over then leave for a minute and come back, too bad I didn't have a doe tag that day!

    I tried the original can for the first time this past week during an early antlerless hunt in WI. I called in a doe but she came up behind me unheard until she snorted. She was behind some very thick brush in a cedar swamp and I couldn't see her at all. She snorted for 10 minutes! Finally it was time for me to leave. Didn't figure I was gonna get a shot at her anyway. So I started to pack up my gear. The minute I moved, she busted outta the brush as I suspected she would. Hopefully next time I'll be able to get a shot at what comes in. I do intend to use the can again thats for sure.

    Original is the way to go! I am now a believer in calling in deer!
