What kind of call is this?

[DonMartin]

Guys I have been using a varmint call that was given to me a few years back to successfully call in desert mule deer and javelina in this past December and now in January.

It has no name on it, and Eric Hively is going nuts trying to find one so he can call in a huge buck he has been chasing.

So here it is, if you know what it is, share it with us.

Looks like an elk call

That looks like a Who's Yrr Daddy elk call. Is it really a varmint call Don?

 

[DonMartin]

I don't know! Like I said it was given to me years ago and I never used it. It does NOT have any name or ID on it.

But I tried it in December and as my clients will attest, it sure brings in the critters running! (deer and javelina)

I start off the calling sequence very low and slow then bring it up slowly.

I can tell you another thing. If they see you calling they don't come in. Sneak into an area, sit down and start calling and if there are deer in the area they will either come in or worst case, they will stand up and try to find the source of the calling.

Its not going to take more than 5 minutes before you'll see 'em.

Hey to the guys asking me if these calls work on whitetails.

I'm not sure how these calls work on Coues whitetails. I hope one of you deer hunters will try out the call. I'm curious to see if this technique works on those deer too!

It sure does look like the "Who's 'YRR' Daddy elk call.

Funny thing is I had bought one for the last elk hunt I had and tried to use it and it did not sound right and ended up giving it to my cousin. I think I'm going to ask for it back!

As Nonet posted, there is a wood and plastic one available.

Don, I guess the only way to really tell is if you can post the sounds you create with yours and compare it against this.

 

[Cazador]

There is a link on the web page I had posted to the YouTube sight that shows a demo on how to use the call thus showing the sound it makes, when used properly... like I said I could not make it sound as good as demonstrated in the video so mileage may vary depending on the person behind it...

 

[DonMartin]

That is definitely the call! I can't find the You-Tube demo though. But elk call or not, this is a mulie calling machine!

Found it, yep that's it! Never even thought about being an elk call. Guess I'll give it a try..heck of a deer call though!

Gonna call and get a wooden one see if it works as good as the plastic!

Hey Don,

Does yours have the button like in the video? (see link above)

I'd be interested to here how you use it. Bring it to the next taping if you would please.

Thanks,

I broke off the button taking it out of my pocket...I'll bring it to our next taping of our show....

Don, do you post any of your show clips on YouTube?

I like see/ hear how you are using the call.

Thanks!

 

[DonMartin]

No, we did not..I used them in January while guiding archery deer/javelina hunters.

I start off with a low sound, then gradually increase the volume. To me, it sounds like a rabbit call.

Interesting, when you are calling deer in with it, are you calling like you would on a varmint call?
