If nothing else I would say it does have a nice sounding grunt to me.As far as the growl goes I can't say,because other than TV I have'nt heard it.Why not try it?Thats what this hobby is all about to me.Just getting in the woods and experimenting with the Whitetails.I love hunting and Whitetails in general.I'm a big fan of calling deer and always looking for a new tool to try.It might not work but who knows it might surprise you as well.It might keep me in my stand an extra hour after i'm ready to leave experimenting with it and that could be all it takes.
Just my thoughts.Oh,and I got mine from Wal-Mart for $15 so looks like a saved $5 bucks.I will also be purchasing the Primos call as well.
