LEDE Deer Call Trio

Hunters Specialties has announced an all-new lineup of grunt tubes for 2026.

The True Talker X3 now includes a built-in snort wheeze that allows hunters to quickly switch between realistic buck grunts, growls, and aggressive snort wheezes. Its compact design features upgraded HS-exclusive internals for efficient airflow, resulting in exceptional sound authenticity. A soft rubber back end offers precise airflow control, making subtle, close-range grunts easy to perform.

The QuadGrunter X3 delivers ultra-realistic vocalizations across the full spectrum—from fawns and does to young bucks and mature bruisers. An intuitive O-ring system lets hunters quickly switch between those four distinct call zones, while subtle adjustments in tube length and direction increase variation and realism.

Combining a rubber-coated barrel, upgraded HS internals and expandable bellows, the BucGrunter X3 produces deep, guttural vocalizations. Versatile and precise, it mimics grunts, snorts, and wheezes.
