So I bought one of those doe bleat cans, but it just seems too quiet, especially in the high winds this weekend. Have you guys had success with these? Also, does anyone have success just bleating with your own voice?
Thanks, I am a new hunter and appreciate any advice!
They do make some bleat cans biggar so it depends on which one you have. Calling in heavy winds Probly not the best idea for the sound won’t carry. You can manipulate the sound of the can with your hands just like a grunt tube im sure you tube can show you some techniques. Try when it’s calm out in a morning hunt and when there’s cloud cover and the sound will carry better. Don’t get frustrated just stay patient and good things will happen.
If you ever were close enough to deer to hear them talking it's barely audible . I killed 3 nice bucks over the years rut crazy. One was in hot pursuit of a not interested doe and blew past me at mach 2. I pulled out the can and gave it a couple calls and waited.Within 45 second the doe circled and just about ran me over followed by a nice 4x4 WT in hot pursuit .He got a 130gr .270 at 50 ft coming head on. The year prior I was in a tree stand and had an not interested doe again chased by a hot buck . They blew past and crashed into the 1 /4 section.You could hear the chase/hoofbeats .I used the can again and he circled flat out at 30 yards nose to the ground wearing a 286gr 9.3x62 .Game over. Another was a 180 class mulie called from hiding near his harem .That one was a Lohman deer call you blow. I have also rattled mulie bucks in on occasion.
I’ve been packing my 9.3x62 the last two days. Can’t wait to try it out. Had a bull moose today at 60 yards in the bush but the only shot he presented was a head shot and I’m a bit leery about trying that. Hopefully tomorrow I can find him again and seal the deal.

That makes me wonder if my grunt tube is too loud. I blow it as I walk through the bush sometimes to help me “blend in.” It’s a pretty loud sucker though.
It’s a can that you invert in order to produce the bleat sound. Not sure how I’d make it any louder. Maybe just shake the hell out of it
If it's the same as mine, the kids love running around the house like manics blowing on the thing. A hole that you cover with your finger and invert it? Try blowing through it, experiment a bit, speeds the ball up a bit, and is alot louder.
