"In this clip we are going to be talking about grunting. What we have here is the basic grunt. This is actually a dual reed system which means it has two reeds on the inside. Take it apart here; you’ve got your band along the reed. This will allow you to adjust it depending on what type of deer you are trying to stimulate. On this particular grunt you can tell it is marked here from your younger deer to your mature bucks and you can slide the rubber band up and down which increases the usage of the reed. The top there, just going to vibrate a little bit giving it a throat of an esophagus of a younger deer and at the bottom it is going to vibrate with that dual reed giving the sound of a mature buck. In the middle you’ve got your doe grunts and from there it just depends on how you actually blow on it. That is more of a yearling doe. What we are going to do now is a doe grunt. That is your middle line grunt which is a call for bucks maybe during rut season; a doe will grunt and a buck will come in and see what is going and maybe try to mate. So looking for a nice trophy buck or a management buck, you can call a doe and maybe a buck will come interested. Then you’ve got your challenged retaliatory or your young buck or your mature buck grunt which is going to allow you to have another buck come in and say, this is my territory get out of here or challenge him to a territory and then maybe you will get an opportunity to kill a buck. It just sounds a little bit different. Your reed you want to place further down. You can tell the difference in sound there. So it really depends on what time of the year and what you are hunting for according to what type of grunt you are going to use."
