When the chuck hunting gets slow...You know, no heads popping up out of holes... Take one of your predator calls and do about one minute of puppy whines...... Wow triggers the chuck heads popping up for shots.. Try it when the chuck hunting gets a bit slow, you will see what I mean...
This was on a previous post but people kind of got off topic on the post and there are multiple replies that do not even pertain to chuck hunting stratagies..So I figure I would start a new one..
I like to use a a Standard or Pee Wee Crit-R-Call. Thing of it is the chucks are out within seconds of doing the calls. So watch for the brown as you do the puppy whines... It's just that fast... Puppy whines I got two...
Oh I also got one to pop up by just doing your basic chuck whistle too..You know kind of sounds like a human whistling...Doing the whistle I got one.
Now I have tried to duplicate the whistle using a wood duck call...using your human voice to do the human whistle has been more productive for me. Some chuck hunters will whistle to make the chuck stand up. Hopefully you have heard a chuck whistle so you know what sound I am posting about...
You all have seen the hawk calls.....Now this is suppose to make ringneck pheasants hold tight so they do not flush early..I wonder what a chuck would do if you used a hawk call?...Probably..Not even stick it's vulnerable head out of the hole??
Olt does and did for a long time make a pheasant call...Now that would have been neat to do...Call in pheasants with a call...However I suppose only on a Pa Game land could you even try this now? Or maybe on a PGC Coop farm?
