Default RE: sub dominate buck scared of grunt?

With all this talk about snort wheezes ill add my two scents. About 2 years ago First week of November Saturday after hunting I was spotting a county park. I saw what to this day is by far the biggest deer I've ever seen live...150+ 10pt in PA. Driving down the same road Sunday morning (In PA you can't hunt on sunday) I saw the same buck cruising. Parked the car, climbed to the top of a knoll and low and behold there we was 40 yards away from me. He walked towards me for about 10 yards and I managed to snap about 10 pictures and some videos. I was so focused on the big guy that I never noticed that there was a six point ten yards below me (this hay field was about 5 feet tall). The giant let out a commanding snort wheeze and the youngster took off like he was shot out of a cannon in the other direction. It was probably the coolest experience I've ever had...I went out and bought a snort wheeze call the next day hah.

PS: After showing the pictures to some experts at Lancaster Archery they informed me that this deer was probably closer to 160 than 150. I will post pictures when I get home for the weekend.
