Folks in the Southeast pronounce the word acorn as aye-kern….or as we spell it, Akern. The Akern Grunt-n-Bleat is THE deer hunter’s call combining the whitetails’ two most used vocalizations into one call. Clay Newcomb loves hunting the pre-rut when the Akerns (acorns) are falling and deer are in the timber. Carrying a bleat call/can and a grunt call can be cumbersome, so he wanted to simplify his whitetail kit with a two-in-one call for soft, sexy bleats and realistic, thunderous grunts. In the summer fall transition period and pre-rut, does are very receptive to being called in with bleats and if you can get them in range a buck could be following. With the inhale-exhale Akern Grunter you can challenge a rutty buck grunts or call in a doe with soft bleat, heck, you might as well shoot a doe too. This is truly a deer hunter’s call!

If you can only pack one deer call to your stand this is it!!! The Akern Grunter allows you to tune two different tone boards to your preference. Grunt/Grunt, Grunt/Bleat, Bleat/Bleat, etc....Then you can decide if you want to exhale or inhale to operate the call. Our unique bypass design lets you run the call how you want.
