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. During early-season and pre-rut, does are very receptive to being called in with bleats and bucks are often close in tow. With the small batch, inhale-exhale Akern Grunter, you can challenge a rutty buck with grunts or call in a doe with soft bleat. 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 this small batch call how you want.

What does "Small Batch" mean exactly? While other call companies are looking to cut costs by sourcing cheaper materials and moving mass-production overseas, we are doubling down on American craftsmanship here at Phelps. By focusing on manufacturing a limited quantity of calls or "Small Batch" we can ensure a high level of quality. Try one today and see the excellence built into each of these small batch calls.
