Quick Answer
For young hunters, effective deer calls to learn include a mouth grunt, a bleat, and a rattling antler call.

Young hunters should practice these calls in a safe and controlled environment before using them in the field.
Essential Deer Calls for Young Hunters
Young hunters should start by learning the basics of deer communication, which includes grunt calls, bleat calls, and rattling antler calls. A mouth grunt is a simple, high-pitched sound that can be used to imitate a doe’s distress call. To make a mouth grunt, young hunters should place the tip of their tongue behind their top teeth and blow air through their lips to produce a high-pitched “hee-haw” sound.
Mastering the Bleat Call
A bleat call is a soft, high-pitched sound that can be used to imitate a fawn’s cry for its mother. To make a bleat call, young hunters should place their lips together and blow air through their pursed lips to produce a soft, high-pitched “maa” sound. The bleat call is most effective when used to imitate a fawn in distress, and can be used to attract does to a specific location.
Rattling Antler Calls for Young Hunters
A rattling antler call is a unique sound that can be used to imitate the sound of two bucks clashing antlers. To make a rattling antler call, young hunters should use two antler pieces or a rattling device to create a loud, rattling sound. The rattling antler call is most effective during the rut, when bucks are actively searching for does, and can be used to attract bucks to a specific location.
