    Default Need grunt call

    I need to get a grunt call and was wondering what everyone recommends. Keep in mind, we don't have many Milk River size bucks here. They are big bodied, but racks are average. What do you guys think??

    I like the Primos power grunt and bleat. It's the goldish/orange one that has a compass on it and it sounds really good. I dont have that one but my dad does. I use the knight and hale grunt, i forget the name of it but i love that one too. Both seem to work really well on bucks in illinois!

    In my opinion, the HS True Talker is the best there is. You can have mature bucks, young/immature bucks, does or fawns all in one call. It is a great call. I highly recommend getting the call/video combo. It really explains how, when and why to use each call.

    Swampy - get the HS Tru Talker. It is the Cadillac of grunts.

    Also the Primos RubberNeck is worth lookin at.

    I would avoid the hardbody (wow, never thought I would say that!) style.

    I've had more deer run away from the tru talker than come to it. I think it's too deep and sounds like a huge 14 pointer and anything smaller runs for the hills when they hear it, haha. Thats just my experience though... Knight and Hale EZ grunter is what i use...

    Good point Sam - I was thinking the same thing today when I was in the woods.

    You can tone it down, but definitly sounds like a Monster Buck.

    I have an H.S True Talker and love the sounds it can create. Have tried others and this one seems to be the best in my opinion.

    You can tone it down also. Very versatile call, then again I like most of my H.S. calls!!

    I use the Primos Hardwoods Grunter. I don't see this grunt call in too many stores, so it might be tough to find.

    I think the hardwood construction gives it a much richer sound than the plastic calls. The sounds can be chaned through an O-ring and the tone is easily changed by adjusting the flexible end.

    Hands down! Get the true talker. That is by far the best grunt ive ever heard. I have one and my buddy left one in my truck... So I guess I have two...

    HS true talker is a sure bet, good tone and very versatile... I also came across a new caller called flex tone that I really like. Not as deep as the true talker but very user freindly and versatile (frost proof also).
