We have a pretty high doe population too. We can take up to six does where I hunt in Ohio. The buck growl still works good though. Every year, I hear bucks grunting and chasing does. I heard a buck growl once, but I mainly hear them grunt and snort wheeze. The bucks normally fight good too. Last year, my dad and I were on our way to our stands in early Novmeber, and we heard the fight of all fights. In the dark these bucks were going at it hard. They were thrashing around and their antlers were clanging together hard. We both saw goods buck action that morning too. I do like the buck growl and will continue to use it along with my grunt call, rattling bag, and doe bleat.
