Deer Calls & Hunting Sounds

Today is Halloween day. After sitting in the stand this morning and seeing a few does and a decent buck, I tried to call him in closer. Couldn’t get him to come in any closer with a grunt call. I got bored in the stand after that and decided to see if there were any good deer call apps. I downloaded this one per the reviews and gave it a shot. I used the doe call number 3 and about 45 mins later I had 4 does come in. As they wandered off about 10 mins after that a big 9 point came strolling through about 35 yards broadside and I missed! Shot right over his back! That’s hunting but this app works!

Ok I sound like all the other reviews but I promise I’m not paid nor have I think ever written a review of an app. This happened this evening. Was hunting late because it rained this morning in southeast MO so I didn’t get to my stand until 11. Didn’t think I would have any luck honestly and didn’t pack anything besides my rifle. Woods were dead for hours, even fell asleep for a bit. Around 3:30 I was bored and decided to look at deer apps and came across this one and read a few reviews. I read several about how they downloaded it just for fun or whatever and several shot a buck shortly after using it. I thought to myself, yeah right, sure you did but for $5 bucks i thought screw it why not. Downloaded it and started listening to the calls at low volume before I tried any where a deer could maybe hear it. Decided on the doe 1 because it sounded like my doe can I’ve used. Turned the volume up all the way and did it one time, btw be sure to turn off the 45 second automatic repeat. Personally I think the default should not have that on. I can see you not noticing that and it going off again when a deer was under you. Anyway I put my phone up and was just sitting back in my stand and I kid you not, about 5 minutes later I heard something walking behind me and turned slowly and there was a big mature 6pt. Don’t usually shoot a 6pt but he clearly was a mature buck just never developed a lot of points. Needless to say the 308 dropped him like a bad habit. I guess he could have already been coming my way, who knows but that sure seemed like he was coming up the ridge to see where the doe was to me. Kinda unbelievable but will make a cool story to remember about this years harvest. Have a good one to all the hunters out there. Taylor Southeast MO 2020 rifle opening day

Can’t make this stuff up. Downloaded this app because I was bored in the stand. Started playing around with it, reading the reviews to see what the best sounds were. Next thing I know 2 doe are 40 yards away. I let them pass because I didn’t have time to get a shot off. I started using the Doe 1 sound thinking nothing would come around. Next thing I know, an 8 pointer comes walking down one of my shooting lanes. Could have been a coincidence, but I think the sounds helped real him in!!! Would definitely recommend trying if you’re bored in the stand and nothing seems to me coming around.
