Deer Callers

[Pete Gaimari]

To settle a disagreement on the effectiveness of the deer callers i'd like opinions.

I'm under the impression that the free bleat caller works just as good at bringing in bucks as the grunt callers. I've used both and they both work the same. What about you? Do you see any difference at all? Does the grunt caller bring in a buck closer than the bleat caller. I don't see that but others think it does.

All opinions are welcome.

Seem to work the same to me.
I prefer grunt callers tho, cuz overtime the bleat caller do be sounding kinna annoying

[Pete Gaimari]

I agree. I even like the sound of the carved grunt caller.

To me & from my exp using them, they do exactly the same. They have the same results.
I see no difference at all.

I will interchange them at time just for fun. To change the immersion.

Thank you.

copy and paste from that other post ;)
its more a missunderstanding then disagreement from @Bargearse

.....
as for the deer callers, there should be NO difference.
its the same tooltip info on both and i havent noticed much difference. the grunt just sounds more like a buck if you use it right - a pure roleplay/immersion thing.
the caller itself is just a trigger for a script that then will decide if that animal will go to investigate the source of the call. its not like real, they dont react different, they dont have a memory or experience with hunters.

i use to grunt too, and most times i see a doe first (or more) if a buck is with that group it will be slower/more attentive on aproach, but that is again - just a script!

many adjust to the game with the experience they made playing, thats fine.
many mechanics we describe (wiki or other very experienced players) are never "read in the code", they are assumptions of the experience the players have made.

since the game spawns random, and we walk a different path each game session, there are differences in what we notice.
its more likely but never confirmed by the devs.

In 2009, I bought the original deer grunt caller and the deer bleat caller when this game wasn't on Steam. The newer deer grunt caller sounds much richer and deeper in tone than mine, however both deer grunt callers and the deer bleat caller all work identically providing the same exact results.

Edit: We didn't have immediate confirmation of the effectiveness on deer genders for the grunt and bleat caller back in 2009. The reason I bought both was because I thought that the grunt caller was for male deer only and the bleat caller for female deer only. It feels dumb having both of them now in my inventory. LOL

Thanks guys.

I hope this does some good for the unbelievers.

The effect is different for the player. Grunt caller just sounds better. I'm kind of happy that I did get it before learning about this same effect thing. I did also get carbon .243 rifle, because I thought carbon fiber rifle would be lighter than regular lol. No regrets anymore but early game I was not so happy about that one.

That carbon .243 is free now. I'm more into a nice piece of wood for a stock myself.

you should have one - i have 1 carbon and 3 with wooden stock, and i never bought a 243 ;)

[Pete Gaimari]

I have one and what I use.

The other two callers are simply a premium version of the first caller. Just like weapons that have more expensive skins with the same efficiency (except, some old weapon skins)

The bleat caller became too annoying for me.
