Just doing what your so good at and setting the record straight.
Are you saying the Drury boys are being misleading?

Exactly, your grunted, not roared/growled otherwise it would have spooked the immature buck
I guess I just don't see what the big deal is.............the sound I made was not a simple grunt..........nor was it a sound I could
easily reproduce with my other tubes (I just tried)........you don't get the pitch changes. I don't have a problem with them calling it a growl or roar or anything else for that matter. It makes a sound that is unique and easy to reproduce and bastardize 1,000 different ways and experiment with in the woods......that gives them the right to slap whatever label they want on it IMO.
which makes my point that it will scare more deer than it calls in
I agree..........if you do it like on the DVD. But in all fairness, the Drury boys don't try to pass this call off as something you should be tooting to every deer that walks by.........They stress the fact that in the right situation it may just give you the edge on a stubborn mature buck. They don't recommend hitting your stand and playing it like a flute and get ready cause here come the deer!!! The call wasn't meant for deer like the ones I used it on........but what the heck, I figured I would try it in the presence of some deer and it got their attention.
Rattling a pair of 170 class antlers would scare every deer near me into the next state as well............but I know guys who say they have had deer come in around here by just light clicks and clacks of smaller racks. That's all I did IMO........just toned it down a notch or two.
any call can imitate the toned down roar/growl.
I don't agree...........it's hard to get the changes in pitch on other tubes.
It's pure marketing as far as the box is concerned but good marketing at that, not unlike Scentloc.
There is a big difference between good marketing and misleading through false information.
