Get this; I was talking to a buddy of mine who lives next to a bunch of woods (that I have taken many deer out of) and he is asking me about grunts deer make. I told him that they grunt when they are pursuing the opposite sex among other reasons.

He has been getting home very late recently and when he is on the front porch taking off his boots, he hears them grunting and kicking up all kind of stuff. He started grunting back at them and they in response grunted back to him! He told me they almost came in the front yard but he didn’t stick around to see. He is not a hunter. So that tells me that due to temps they are pre rutting at night big time!!

Break out the infrared!!
