Red deer call

I've called out a Red with an old army trip flare tube in the past, danpd will confirm that. I've been told that an old whisky bottle tube works as well.
 
Don't waste your money there is no such thing for reds.

No such thing you say, well i have been twice in the last 2 weeks and have called and shot a stag on both occasions! The one i had this weekend was called away from a hind from at least half a mile across a wooded valley! That was using a length of 50mm flexible conduit.
 
mullbiker sadly mistaken im afraid i bought one seven years ago and would never leave home without it when after stags !!!!
 
when we went to nz the guys out there used tubing we had a demo one night ,we was told not to sound too loud you want to sound like a young stag not bellow out like a dominant stag to draw them in lots of vids on youtube and the nz hunting sites it does seam to work,atb wayne
 
gts - get yourself a fine plastic inner tube from a fax paper roll. Cut it about 4" long.With a bit of practise you can produce, admittedly, a much weaker call of varying ages but it works fine during the rut when the beasts are working on half a brain - and that half secured between their rear legs. A 'young' call will bring forth an approach for investigation. A more mature call might bring forth rapid reprisal at the trot so ensure that you ARE carrying a rifle and that you are prepared to shoot the animal you are teasing as a suitable cull.

I was once chased off the hill by a cheesed-off stag after teasing him. It was a downhill run. I didn't habe a rifle but I didn't fall - 'Not sure I was touching the ground either, but what saved me was that the old fellow didn't want to leave his girls for too long and was satisfied to chase me off. I never repeated that game.
 
blimey i have had a young buck crash through the woods to chase me off and that gave me a scare as he came at me from behind but i think i would need to change my shorts after that one ecoman,atb wayne
 
Aye wayne, it was only about half a mile and all downhill, but I didn't waste time looking back until I reached the bottom of the glen and he stood on a knoll roaring his guts out at me. I was pretty fit at the time as I was a cross-country runner but I'd never done it before with a brown afterburner. In retrospect I think that I should have thought first but it seemed a good idea at the time.

Intersted what do you use at best I have been able to get a stag stand up and at worst
cause said stag to gather hinds and head off.
May be you have discovered something new . I have spoken at length with 3 full time stalkers [more than 80 years full time stalking experience ] and all have the same experiences as I.
We are very interested in your device
Please advise
Thanks
 
Hello mullbiker

When im home ill dig out the call and let you know the makers name it works great on woodland stags calling them to within feet of you during the rut i tried it out on wednesday on the open hill with slightly different results they came closer showing interest but did not come charging saying that the rut is almost over !

The call is made by Buck Expert and obviously is their Red deer call product code in the catalogue 67st, i bought mine through Bushwear maybe they could order you one as they no longer advertise it in their magazine !

Hope this helps you still need to make the right noise though !
