Folks in the Southeast pronounce the word acorn as ayekern.... or as we spell it, Akern. The Phelps Akern Pro 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 with grunts or call in a doe with soft bleat; heck, you might as well shoot a doe too. 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...
