Do Doe Bleat Cans Work?

The most effective? Deer calls. Grunt tubes, bleat cans and rattling antlers can turn a long sit into a productive and eventful one by coaxing whitetails a little closer. Don't expect deer to come running every time you use one, though.

Do bleat cans really work?

One of those hunters is longtime D&DH contributing editor Charles Alsheimer. “Bleats certainly work, but there is no rhyme or reason to it,” he told me. ... “However, that being said, I've killed a lot of deer by using an estrous bleat, especially those can calls” Alsheimer added.

When to use a doe bleat can?

A bleat can is a good call to use to let them know you're around. Be sure to use it sparingly however. During the rut you want to attract the doe and then the buck. It is important to let them hunt you, so situate yourself in a tree or somewhere elevated and continue calling, drawing them closer to you.
