Game calls
Game calls are manual hunting tools that you blow into to imitate natural animal sounds and trigger curiosity, contact behaviour or a predator response. At Vildmarken you will find game calls for roe deer, red deer, foxes and other predators. Choose a call for the target species and practise its tone, volume and rhythm before the hunt.
Game calls for roe deer, red deer and predators
Different species respond to different sounds. A roe deer call can imitate contact calls or a fawn in distress, while red deer calls reproduce stag sounds during the rut. Fox and predator calls may imitate mice, birds or a distressed hare to suggest possible prey.
Choose the right sound for the species and season
Start with the species and the time of year. The sound needs to match the animal’s behaviour during that period. A multi-sound call provides more options, while a specialised model is often easier to master for one particular sound. The product description states the intended species and sounds.
How to use a game call
Practise well before the hunt so that you can control tone, airflow and volume. Start quietly, leave clear pauses and be ready before calling again. Consider the wind and your position, as game often tries to approach from cover or move downwind to identify the source.
Call with patience and variation
Calling too often or too loudly can make game wary. Adapt the intensity to distance, weather and the animal’s response. A response can come quickly, but patience and sufficient time between calling sequences are often needed.
