Roe calls are set imitate to the doe’s fiep sound. The fiep is the roe’s language of communication and must therefore be regarded as the most natural and most correct calling method. The call should not be set too high, otherwise more does than bucks will approach. A good rule of thumb is not to call too much.

During use, hold the caller in the hollow of your hand in such a way that the mouthpiece still protrudes from the closed hand for about 1 cm between the thumb and forefinger. Place the call on your moderately pursed lips, don’t stick it in your mouth. A short breath creates the short, gentle, and natural whimper sound “fiep”.

One should only start calling after taking up one’s position as quietly as possible. After a break of approx. 10-15 minutes, one begins to call in the following manner:
2-3 fieps in different directions, then a pause of 1-2 minutes, after that 2-3 fieps, then after a pause of 3-4 minutes one would repeat the above once more.

The individual sounds should not follow each other too quickly, roughly at the speed of breathing: fiep sound - breathe in - breathe out - fiep sound etc. After calling one should quietly remain in position for 10-15 minutes, it occasionally happens that leaving the position too quickly might cause the buck to bound off in a flash. Calling from ground level seems more natural than from a high seat.
