Default What do you say....

Here's another fun thread for you guys.

Ok, you are perched in your tree stand and all of a sudden you hear movement. Here comes a shooter at a steady walk and doesn't show signs of stopping.

My question is what is everyone's "special sound" that they make to stop a deer in it's tracks? I think I have whistled before or said "hey" but haven't had to do it in a long time.

Just thought it would be a fun thread.

Hard to explain, but easy to do......I make a fast ticking sound w/my tounge out the side of my mouth. It's not loud, but it's strange enough to get their attention.

I vocally bleated at one once, and the sudden loud noise made that rascal bolt. I swore I would never do that again.

Is that similar to the noise that people make to horses but you just do it longer?

Either I say "Urrp" or "Maaah," whichever decides to come out.

Never had a deer spook to either one. Hunting pressure is low in my area, so strange noises don't spook the deer as bad.
