Me too GMMAT. I've been hunting deer in a dozen states for close to 50 years. I have no idea how many deer I've seen in the wild. I have no idea how many I killed with a gun(but I have killed over 80 with a bow) and I've yet to hear the first deer growl, roar or sing the Tinks 69 song.

I've only heard one roar and it's because we chased it down and bled it out, when we approached him he couldn't get up but he turned his head towards us on his front legs and roared...I highly doubt, and it didn't happen, that any bucks in ear shot of him would have come in. I honestly feel it will scare more deer than it will ever call in but it will probably call one in from time to time but that doesn't make me want one. I have numerous grunt tubes and don't need another because it "growls or roars", I can do that with a couple I already have but wouldn't. I'll hopefully hunt until I'm in my 80's, another 40 some years and I won't own a growl/roar call unless it's handed to me, even then it won't go with me to the woods. Sorry MADD/Primos guys, good marketing tho.

I selfishly hope they sell a LOT of these.

Thanks for the replies guys.

I have also never heard the "buck growl"," but couldnt find anything better to do with that gift card so hey what the heck, Ill try it out next year durring the rut and see what happens.

A couple of you mentiond that it might scare away young deer. Ill keep that in mind when using it and maybe carry a regular grunt tube along to.

I did hear a buck "roar" this fall, but it was too dark to "roar" back. He was herding a doe around in the multiflora rose thicket I was hunting next to. It wasn't your normal tending grunt, either.

One of the reasons (besides my friends having good luck with theirs) that I bought the Primos Buck Roar was that my old grunt tube was purchased in 1984? and sounded more like a sick mallard than a buck.

I used the new Primos more as a grunt tube than a roar, successfully calling in the first two bucks I tried it on. Then I felt really stupid with 1.5 year old bucks that I had no intentions of shooting standing around under my tree.

I'd only use the "roar" to enrage a dominant buck who comes to run off the intruder. I helped drag out my buddies buck and it was a dandy!

Also, aren't we talking twenty bucks here?
