About Calling
Vocal signs are an essential part of behavior of many animals. They call to attract sexual partners, to invite other members of the flock or herd to a food source, or to warn them of danger, as part of a display ritual or territorial protection - and sometimes simply of pain. All these signals can be used to determine the location of the birds and beasts, and to make them come to the place where the hunter is waiting for them.
Some hunters can imitate the sounds of animals and birds without any assistance. However, most need special devices - calls. Some calls work on the same principle of the trumpets and flutes - they turn the air current that you blow into them to a vocal signal of the animal. Others, like turkey calls, produce the desired sound by scratching or other mechanical impact. A controversial subject is the use of electronic calls - devices that record and play actual animal sounds. In many countries they are believed to be unethical, and allowed only for pest control if at all.
One of the most exciting hunts is hunting red deer, elk (wapiti), and moose “at the bugle” or “on the roar”. The majestic bulls of these species engage in impressive displays of power, roaring or bugling to attract females and signal to other males that a particular area is taken. Other bulls answer the call and come in to challenge their opponent and to fight for the territory or the harem of females. Hunters (and even tigers) imitate these calls to attract the bull, or as help with the stalk, giving the beast the impression that it’s a rival bull, not a two-legged predator, that approaches.
