[QUOTE="Great White Stalker, post: 2998154, member: 7954"] Yeah not much on blind calling myself. I heard my first snort wheeze several years ago. NEVER would have used that until that sit made me a believer. I saw 5 bucks in one set. They were wheezing all over the place. Last year I had a monster come in. Shot and missed with my bow at 41 yds. I had a call that was one of those 3-in-1 deals. Anyway after i shot and missed he only ran 10 yds.( I was sitting on the side of a steep ridge with open hardwoods.) Well I grunted at the monster and that would stop him as he walked off but not turn him. He would look in the woods but the fact that he didn't see anything didn't do much to spark his interest. So I snort wheezed. This had the same affect. Finally I used the dreaded bleat call which I think sounded horrible. Wouldn't you know at 70 yds it turns him and he came up an adjacent ridge to where I had another 41 yd shot! Unfortunately my calling was better than my shooting that day. lol.Its funny. This is the first time I could tell that story and not feel like throwing up. He was a monster.... Also I didn't mention that he walked up on a 155 lb 7 pointer that had been bedding beside me at 40 yds for over 8 hrs!!! It was a great sit and learning experience. Calls are no gimmick. Just don't go crazy with them. You are liable to do more harm than good. [/QUOTE]
