Grunt-Tube Recommendations

[Northcountryman]

So I've had the same grunt tube for a decade now- a cheap "no-frills"  one purchased from Walmart- and was thinking that maybe I should upgrade. Some of the guys in my Club have those bigger ones- you know, the ones that sort of look like a miniature Bagpipe(pic included), with the tube that can be folded in or extended by pulling/pushing on it. Are they more effective, do you think? I dont even see the old-style tubes like the one I have for sale anymore.

Thanks,

NC Man

My freezer would be poorly stocked right now, were it not for this Flextone call.  It brought a 2.5 year old buck in on wire, on opening day of gun season last year.  Before I used the call, he had passed by quickly, thru some cover at longer range.  I could not verify then that he was a "shooter".

In addition to buck grunts, the call will make fawn bleats and doe sounds, but I have yet to try those.

I've got the same flextone call. Works great.  Don't know if its any better than the old one you have in brining in deer.

I use the original Tru Talker. That is a more recent one you are using.

Yeah , looks similar to mine ; How long you had it ?

Long time. Over 15 years I’d say. The original had long flexible tube and was coated with a rubberized material. Had thdd we capability of a deeper uuurp
