Calling Mature Bucks

 by Todd Amenrud

Whitetails vocalize to communicate a variety of socially important information… well, important to a whitetail anyhow. Their sounds vary in pitch and intensity and just a slight change in either can give the sound a different meaning. Most importantly, I know they can be called to us by imitating these sounds. Aside from a doe and her young fawns during the spring, whitetails are most vocal during the fall months and breeding season. Making the right sound at the right time can be an exciting way to fill a tag and put a trophy on the wall.

A whitetail’s sense of hearing is what we’re trying to reach when using a call so we need to understand a few things about it. The average hunter would say that a whitetail has much better hearing than a human. Actually, our ear drum is more sophisticated. Humans have the capabilities to pick up higher pitch and lower pitch frequencies, however, imagine if you had two huge, open-ended cones that you could direct and cup sound with. Because of the style of their ears a whitetail can distinguish and pinpoint the location of sounds much better.

As far as the often asked question, “how loud should I blow my call?” The short answer is, “make the sound the same volume that a real whitetail would.” Experience is the best teacher. Adult deer communicate through grunts, bleats, bawls, bellows, snorts, hisses and wheezes. The two most common sounds are grunts and bleats. Varying the tone, length or volume can give them totally different meanings. Both bucks and does make both grunts and bleats. Read more
