We will just have to agree to disagree on your point.
The growl, as I have heard it described, is a aggressive/highly agitatedsound produced by bucks. To say that a paralyzing shot could not cause a buck to make a sound, one that I know and equated to the "growl" or "roar", is unfounded. Not to try to convince you, but the buck was lured in with a Pee Willie Wick scent dispenser full of Ms. Does Pee at the end of January in Alabama. Spelled out in simple terms...FULL RUT!
Sorry if this comes across harsh, but seems to be alot of "name calling" on this site from time-to-time. No need in refuting what a person believes, believes they hear/saw, etc. by coming across as implying they are lying. What is the point in that?
You obviously didn't get what I was saying. I'm not saying that you are lying. I don't care what time of year it was, did the buck growl before or after you shot it? If it was before, then you heard the "growl" in its meaning of an agitating buck in rut. If you heard it after you shot it, you heard the buck moan in pain. Both sound the same, but believe me they are made for VERY different reasons. Shoot a doe in the spine and she'll make a "growl" as well.
