I agree on the elk vote. I have had some knowledgable hunters comment that in the area that I hunt, the deer do seem to be very vocal....? Why, and if so, who knows? But I have heard many bucks going friggen gonzo at times when chasing does. Heard em before I saw them...and some long ones too. But elk are no doubt (IMHO) alot more vocal. Speaking of that, 6 weeks from today I' ll be packing in with the muzzle loader chasing elk...oh yeah!!
