Isn't it odd that many of us have been on these forums for how many years now and with all the veteran, seasoned hunters here and noone, no one has ever mention hearing it. In fact the members here who I deem the most vetetran, 25 plus years in a treestand, collectively 100's of years between us and no one ever heard it. Now that there are calls out, suddenly everyone is hearing it. Are the deer now using it more? Perhaps people are hearing other hunters use it more? It's a vocalization that has never been documented before the Drury's and suddenly the deer are using it? Have hunters heard it before and just didn't know what they were hearing?

Seriously, why all of a sudden is the roar/growl being heard?
