RE: Snort wheeze
I am a pretender...
In my mere 12 years of bowhunting whitetails I have heard the snort-wheeze on several occasions (3 that I can think of now). And not all by dominant bucks. Most by 2 yr. olds in fact. And I've called in twice as many with the snort wheeze.
WKP Todd is correct.. they are not all that loud. Sometimes you really have to strain yourself to hear it. Even at 50 yards.. it can be tough.
I believe Justin and I even caught it on video this year. And Justin was in the tree with me when I snortwheezed at a solid 3.5 yr. old who came in from more than 150 yards out.
I've never heard a lion roar.. but I assume it does..[8D]
