Default RE: Do you grunt?

I think you just grazed her too, I assume you found very little blood further on.

To stop a deer, I make a very quite "baaaah" sound, almost like a high pitched sheep sound. I think deer do not always respond well to a grunt. I always used to make a "kiss" sound, like I was calling a dog, that stopped them pretty good too, but I found it also alerted them a little too much, and that if they stopped short of my lane, or there was a limb in the way, then you are dealing with a wary animal when it does decide to move again. The "doe bleat" or "fawn bleat" sound, does not seem to alert the deer at all, but almost always makes them stop immediately.
