🚨 BREAKING NEWS: RUTTING SEASON 2026 IS UPON US!! ARE YOU PREPARED?? SCROLL DOWN FOR ESSENTIAL INFORMATION!! 🚨

WELCOME, FELLOW DEER ENTHUSIAST!!

Are YOU tired of sitting in your deer stand, calling out to bucks, and getting ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in response?? Do the deer LAUGH at your pathetic attempts at communication?? Well NO MORE!!!

This website contains DECADES of research into the sacred art of deer rutting calls. I have spent literally thousands of hours in the woods making weird noises at deer and I am HERE to share my wisdom with YOU.


📢 TYPES OF RUTTING CALLS 📢

Click the buttons to hear examples!! (Not really, I don't have a microphone that good)
THE GRUNT

The bread and butter of deer calling!! This low, guttural sound is what bucks use to say "HEY LADIES, I'M OVER HERE AND I'M VERY HANDSOME"

Sounds like: "UUURRRRPPHH"

Difficulty: ★★☆☆☆

THE SNORT-WHEEZE

This is the AGGRESSIVE call!! When a buck does this, he's basically saying "COME AT ME BRO, I'LL WRECK YOUR ANTLERS"

Sounds like: "PHHHSSST... PHHHSSST... WHEEEEZE"

Difficulty: ★★★☆☆

THE DOE BLEAT

The doe bleat is nature's Tinder notification!! When a doe makes this sound, every buck in a 3-mile radius starts SPRINTING towards her like she just said "free food"

Sounds like: "MAAAAAAH... MEEEEEH"

Difficulty: ★★★★☆

THE RATTLING

Not technically a "call" but WHO CARES!! Smash some antlers together and simulate a BUCK FIGHT!! Nearby bucks will come running because they are NOSY and want to watch the drama!!

Sounds like: "CRACK CLACK CLATTER SMASH"

Difficulty: ★☆☆☆☆ (just bang stuff together lol)

🏆 THE LEGENDARY TENDING GRUNT 🏆

This is the HOLY GRAIL of deer calls!! A rapid series of grunts that a buck makes when he's following a doe. It's basically him going "wait up... wait up... WAIT UP... PLEASE WAIT UP"

Sounds like: "URP URP URP URP URP URP URP URP"

Difficulty: ★★★★★ (requires STAMINA and DEDICATION)


💡 PRO TIPS FROM THE MASTER 💡

~~~ These tips have been FIELD TESTED by ME, a person who has definitely not been arrested for disturbing wildlife ~~~
  1. TIMING IS EVERYTHING!! - The best time to use rutting calls is during the rut. I know that sounds obvious but you'd be SURPRISED how many people try this in July.
  2. START QUIET!! - Don't just BLAST the grunt tube at maximum volume. You're trying to attract a deer, not summon Cthulhu.
  3. WIND DIRECTION MATTERS!! - Deer have noses that make bloodhounds look like they have COVID. Always pay attention to which way the wind is blowing.
  4. DON'T OVERCALL!! - If you're sitting there going "URRPH URRPH URRPH" every 30 seconds, you don't sound like a deer. You sound like a weirdo in a tree.
  5. PRACTICE AT HOME FIRST!! - But maybe warn your neighbors. Mine called the police twice before I remembered to explain what I was doing.
  6. COMBINE TECHNIQUES!! - Use a grunt followed by rattling for maximum effect. It's like telling a buck "there's a fight AND a party over here!!"
  7. READ THE BODY LANGUAGE!! - If a buck approaches with his ears pinned back and hair standing up, CONGRATULATIONS, you've made a very angry deer. Good luck with that.
