I'm real happy with my hand made one from Koble Calls. He's on here and you can find older threads by searching.

 

I will second the Koble calls!

 

Buck roar

 

I like the hook messenger. It is purposely built to sound like a younger buck. If a call sounds like a 423lb stud, who is going to challenge you? The logic where it sounds like a young immature buck makes sense to me.

 

I still have and use the original MAD Buck Growl. Haven't tried any of the newer versions.

I also like the old HS True Talker grunt tube as well but the MAD is more compact and is more versatile, in my opinion.

 

i have a primos little big roar. is it best? guess i dont know, but i do know that it works...

 

The "best" one is the one you can do without a call. Just a gutteral sound- something like a fart.

 

Someday I will be a 'Deer Whisperer"....for now I rely on plastic tubes and such....LOL, LOL

 

There are some really nice customs calls out. I realy want to pick one up but for now I use an extinguisher. I really like that you can adjust the sound by sliding the adjuster on the side. No disassembly to move rubber bands up the reed. Never had it max out and go silent either.

 

When I was at F&S a met a rep who sent me one to try. It is the best I have used. I wish I could remember who makes it. It really is effective though and I can change the pitch with out moving the reed because the tube is so flexible.

 

the old original true talker

 

Yep .love the true talker

He makes an awesome awesome call.

 

Does he have a website? Pricelist? Styles? Finishes? etc...

 

Pork and Beans

 

Another vote for Koble. But your buying a piece of functioning art that you can pass down. In reality, any plastic grunt call will work.

 

I've used the flextone buck collector for years. Can make deep grunts or higher pitched grunts and also doe bleats all by applying more or less pressure to reed. Payed around $10 for it. Works great

I have had the best luck with the Quaker Boy Brawler and be for that the Ridge Runner.

 

The extinguisher sounds the most like the bucks in my area....

 

I only rattle with buck sheds from my area....

 

Hooks custom calls, the messenger is by far the best I’ve used. Adjustable too

 

Koble is the way to go.

 

I wouldn't even say there's a best.
They all work, depends on the mood.

 

The Hooks Messenger is what I like.

 

Another vote for the true talker

 

Stinger Pro by wood haven custom calls ....funny that its plastic and can be bought anywhere off the shelf, nothing custom
about it ..but works the best for me, called in lots of mature bucks ..I even like it better then the old black true talker

 

Always had great luck with my original True Talker but I will probably buy a nice custom from Mike here. Going to call him tomorrow and ask about some of his calls.

 

Primos buck roar for me .love the volume .they can hear it a long way off !

 

I've had several bucks respond to a grunt tube over the years, but most come in curious or cautious.....looking for the other buck. Same with rattling......they get suspicious very quickly if they don't have visual confirmation of what they heard.....at least in heavily pressures west Michigan. Don't expect it to be like an informercial on a TV hunting show, where you use their product and big bucks pour of of the brush like magic.....that is BS. If your set up in the right spot and ready to shoot, attractants can be of help....but nothing works every time and can sometimes push deer away.

 

Been my observation also

 

this and a credit card, you will be amazed what you can do with them.
