After reading reviews i thought I would give the Kruncher a try....used it a week ago...saw 3 does about 50yrds away...started working the kruncher and all 3 does got spooked and took off..never came back even though I continued to use it...no calming effect there...they stopped out about 75yrds and continued feeding..tried it again 2 days ago and same deal..had 4 does blow up and bolt after krunchin..hand got tired from squeezin that all day...oh well..maybe I wasnt krunchin right ?
While guiding two of my inexperienced hunting buddies (Mike & Brad), I gave them each a kruncher knowing that they will finally bag a monster. i set them each in their own stand and showed them how to work the "golden call" as i call it. Within minutes I received phone calls from both rookies, as I knew I would. Mike was so excited he called in a monster spotted fawn and bagged it at 30 yards. Brad had a little trouble "warming up" the call, but he got the hang of it and then called in and killed a wopper doe with 2 yearlings. What a successful hunt for each of these greenhorns. KRUNCHER...YOUR THE BEST!!
I was buying my brother a Kruncher and decided to read some reviews and view some of the results others were having with the Kruncher.
Wow. Some of them are real funny! After watching the instructional video the call made a lot of sense to me and it has become my favorite call to use.
I use it early season to kill does. You can actually spot a doe at a distance in early October and hunker down and call a deer in while on the ground. The actual sound is not made by crunching them together and then stopping. It is made by cupping your hands around the call and making a constant grinding sound. Deer absolutely will agnowledge the sound and move toward it. I have had deer smell me and snort and come back. I'm talking about just kneeling beside a tree without a blind.
The video says the reason it works so well is because deer are so conditioned to the internal vibration to chewing and grinding that they get a conditioned response to relax when they hear it.
The deer seem like they ignore the sound during the rut but it is the most incredible call I have ever used in early and late season.
You can joke about it all you want, but it does work!
Bought the Kruncher last deer season & have had amazing results. First night out I Krunched in 2 B&C bucks & placed 2 perfect shots (1 double lung, 1 double bung). My brother bought the Kruncher the next day and said he literally had deer chase him out of his ground blind. I have also had success using the Kruncher as a predator call. I have Krunched in coyote, bear, cougar here in Michigan. The call had a very calming affect on them just like had with the deer. simply amazing results for such an affordable price.
