the snort wheeze, imo, works best when youve got a MATURE deer either responding to your calling but is hung up or passing just out of range, generally the BOSS dog will come in furious! of course it works best when the buck is in the "mood" during the early rut and peak rut periods. have had it work and have had deer ignore it, overall i will keep snort wheezing as long as i have them come stopping in likeone brute did this year!
