Rob... you got to remember... these were Wisconsin racoons.[8D][&:]

Aside from Robs obvious answer, you've never heard it in 30 years, I've never heard it in 40 something years... and yet you want to buy a $20 thing to make a noise that's rarely heard or answered. I'd venture to say, not only will you scare away the racoons as Rob says, but you'll scare away 90 percent of the bucks that might otherwise walk past your stand. It's suppose to bea dominance thing I presume. I'd rather use a plain old grunt call... (if I really need to,... like if the animal is passing out of range) that "MAY" get a deer's curiosity up. I don't think I want to challege anyone within range to see who's the baddest. Get him in and I'll decide if he's the baddest.
