On the other hand all these posts where people come on and say "I have been hunting 75 yrs and never heard or seen that" are horse crap. I know a lot of guys who have been hunting a lot of years and cant find their azz with both hands.
What the heck does this mean!!??
To hear a buck make the snort wheeze is not real common. Especially when guys are hunting in areas where the buck/doe ratio is out of wack. If Davidmil says he's never heard it, I believe him. He's got tons of time in the woods and has taken a lot of deer. It's not horse crap, it's the truth.
I hunt in a trophy rich environment and have only heard it a couple of times. I have hunted for mature bucks for 17 seasons and have taken as many bucks 3 1/2 and older. I spend the entire month of Nov, a lot of Oct and Dec as well in this pursuit. So when I say I've only heard it a couple of times, it's not horse crap, it's the truth.
When a guy says he hears it a couple of times per week for most of the season...... That's horse crap.
To be fair it was unknown that the guy was mistaking an alarm snort with the snort wheeze.
Your statement above makes you sound like one of the guys you know that can't find their azz with both hands. That's gospel.
