Calling

Overview

Deer calling involves rattling, grunting, and bleating —  common vocalizations that deer use during breeding season. Mimicking these sounds at the right time can lure a deer into shooting range. Many whitetail hunters on the East Coast and in the Midwest have been using deer calls for years, and the blacktail community here in Oregon uses deer calls with good success as well.
