Grant,

Over the years we have seen you test many different kinds of grunt calls for sound and authenticity. Which one or two do you recommend?

Erik,

This year we spent lots of time comparing many different brands/models of grunt calls.  Adam, my interns and I would listen to them at 50, 100, 150, and 200 yards in different settings.  We weren’t pleased with any of them.  The tone, rhythm, and/or volume was off compared to the many recordings of actual buck grunts.  

We asked Hook’s Custom calls to build a grunt call based on various recordings of bucks.  We has very specific tone, rhythm, and/or volume requirements.  After several prototypes I’m very happy with the call the produced. In fact, a hit list buck responded to the Hook’s call yesterday and I shot him at 20 yards!

Enjoy creation,
