anybody successful at using a fawn bawl to kill early season does? What call you you use, and any pointers on technique?
Thanks in advance
I called a red fox in with one before. I just startede whailing on it, trying to sounds like a fawn being eaten.
Thats a terrible sound if you have ever heard it for real, the worst sound in a cub bear bawling.
I've seen video of a guy using one of those old rubber-band fawn bawl calls (good luck finding them) to great success. I've tried and haven't had a similar one work yet.
Used it with no luck
I've taken quite a few does by using the fawn bawl. Lately though, because of our abnormally high bear population in these parts, all I call in are bears when I use it. :banghead:
My favorite is the A-way call set on fawn bleat.
You can do it with one of those "fully adjustable" grunt tubes. Slide the o-ring up to the top, then start wailing like a coyote has you by the leg. If there's a doe within earshot, she'll investigate. Some will come in on a run.
I've called in Wt. tails, mulys, coyotes, and bears with it. The rubberband one is from E.L.K calls.
I used "The can" on Sept 5th in Kentucky and shook it so that it sounded fawn-like...I had a doe at 300 yards come trotting in and I killed her at 16 yards. Her milk sack was almost dry, so I am assuming she had lost a fawn recently.
