RE: Have you every heard a buck "Growl" while hunting?
I'm really suprised at how many HAVE heard it. I wonder how many of those guys actually heard another hunter with a Buck Growl call? I think you could hunt your entire life and never hear that sound but maybe I'm wrong.

I bought the Primos Roar and it comes with a mini DVD. After watching the DVD, I realized that I have heard it several times. To meit just kinda sounds likea loud, aggressive grunt. Used mine the first time on the opening day of our firearms season. About 8:00 I tried it and about a minute later I smoked a 4 1/2 year old 8 pt at 50 yards. He came in looking.

RE: Have you every heard a buck "Growl" while hunting?
A few years ago I was bored in stand and started blowing into my grunt tube. Low and behold I heard something grunt back at me. I waited, nothing...I grunted again, it grunted back. I figured it was another hunter, so I grunted and it grunted back, had to be another hunter. Well I got frustrated and blew very loudly into the tube, the next thing I know I heard my first growl and snort weeze followed by a nice buck chasing a doe through the swamp about 40 yards from me. Didn't think much about it until recently when I seen the Drury's promoting their call...THAT WAS THE SOUND I HEARD. Over30 years hunting, heard it once.

My dad saw a 130" buck this year and it was chasing a doe making a sound he never heard before. He said it sounded different than just a normal grunt. I bought the buck roar and showed him my dvd that came with it and he said that's the exact sound he heard. I think that a lot more people have heard it and just thought it to be a grunt.

We have all heard all kinds of noise`s out there and just made out to be what we thought it is? When in fact it`s something all together different?

I dont think I ever heard it until after I bought the call. I know thats very ironic but it happened. Here's the link to the story: http://www.huntingnet.com/forum/tm.aspx?m=1812190
For those of you who have seen the instructional dvd, the call i heard was the same one that smaller buck makes when chasing off those bucks from the wounded/shot doe in estrous. And the sound the buck from pike county illinois made (guy sent in home video to MAD Calls). It made the hair on the back of my neck stand up.
If you watch the video some growls/roars are very aggressive more like a roar and some are subtle like a growl. I definitely heard the roar.
