Within this app, you'll find 8 categories containing 64 audio clips, such as buck and doe grunts, sparring, snort wheeze, buck roars, growls, and bucks chasing does. Listen close - you'll hear sticks cracking, leaves crunching, and brush breaking, making this the most realistic LETHAL call ever produced! During the Rut: Use audio from the Buck Sparring, Snort Wheeze, Buck Making Scrape, Buck Pursuing Doe, Buck Rubs, and the Buck Roars and Growls within the Buck Grunt category, as these sounds are made by bucks when trying to intimidate other deer or are sexually frustrated. ## Key features - Authentic recorded audio - 64 audio clips - 8 sound categories - Rut-specific sounds - Realistic environmental noises ## Chart rankings - #198 in Top Paid · Sports (US App Store) ## Recent user reviews (10 of 11) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/lethalcalls/id1168422351/reviews.md ### 5/5 — Wish an update with an estrus call added *2022-11-05* Only call I would like added is an estrus call. I love how real the call are ### 5/5 — Sound Quality is Amazing *2022-10-05* I'm very happy with this App and it's ease of use and set up. No issues connecting to my Bluetooth speaker on my iPhone at all. But what clearly makes this App standout is the quality of the recordings. Anything non-authentic will spoke the wise old bucks, and the recordings are super high quality IMHO. ### 5/5 — Works Great! *2022-09-04* If you follow the directions, this app works like a charm. I would definitely recommend. ### 1/5 — Don’t work *2021-11-27* Nothing plays and no way to ask for a refund **Developer response:** Hi Scottlvrz - I'm so sorry you had issues with the app! We discovered that the app didn't play for people if their phones were silenced and they weren't connected to a Bluetooth speaker. We've corrected the issue in the app and released a new version 2.0. ### 5/5 — Amazing App *2021-11-16, version 1.5* When I downloaded my first App I paid for, it didn’t play a damn thing. Then I read it needs a Bluetooth device, hooked up my Bose speaker and the deer just came to life. Using it right now, to hopefully grab my buck. Thanks for some great sounds. ### 1/5 — Redownloaded it for this season and now it won’t let me open the audio tab. The app just crashes *2020-11-17, version 1.3* .... ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2020-11-03* Just downloaded this app to hear some of the different calls and none of them worked. I click on a sound and nothing plays. Don’t waste your money on this app, you’re better off starting a fire with a $5 bill. **Developer response:** Hi SCHunter2020 - We discovered that if users had their phones silenced and they weren't connected to Bluetooth, the app wouldn't play the audio on their phones. We corrected this issue in the 2.0 release. ### 1/5 — Problems *2020-10-23* Just purchased app and when I go try it out, I open the app push library, and all it does is cancel the app out and take me to my home screen. Need some help. **Developer response:** Hi tmill0711 - Well, that's certainly frustrating for you! We had reports of crashes for phones running certain iOS versions. We believe this has been fully corrected in versions 1.5 and 2.0. Please download the latest version and try it out! ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2016-11-12* I can finally use 100% real life deer sounds and calls. No more hoping you sound like a deer! This app is awesome! ### 5/5 — AZHunterWI *2016-11-10* Awesome app! I have used this app now for the last couple weeks during the WI whitetail archery hunt and am amazed at how many bucks I have been able to call into shooting range with it. Just love all the authentic sounds especially the trot and grunt. I am waiting for the big one so will update once that happens. ## Frequently asked questions about LethalCalls ### What kind of audio does LethalCalls feature?
