Did it sound the same as the DVD example?

WV, I feel exactly the same way about the "roar" that i heard. If i hadnt watched the DVD it wouldve scared the crap out of me.

I haven't seen the DVD, but I did see the Drury's show on TV. If that is the same, then that is the sound. It was VERY loud and kinda eerie. He did it right at dark, standing still with no other deer around at all. I would have loved to have gotten a shot at him...but he was at 50yds. The weird thing is, he was looking right at me...like he knew I was there and he was directing it at me. Definitely an experience I won't ever forget.

Now that I think about it...it was probably around '96 or '97. Haven't heard it since.

LIKE I SAID IN MY EARLIER POST. I'M PRETTY SURE MY FIRST BOW KILL WAS COMING TO THIS GROWL CALL. HE WASN'T A MONSTER BUT HE WAS THE DOMINATE BUCK IN THIS AREA. I LISTENED TO THIS DEERIN THE BRUSHFOR ABOUT 45 MIN BEFORE I DECIDED TO USE THIS CALL, WHEN I GROWLED HE SHOWED HIMSELF ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. WHO CARES IF IT WORKS OR NOT? IM SURE THERE WILL BE TIMES THAT NO CALL WILL WORK, NONE ARE 100%. I'VE SEEN BIG TOMS BE CALLED IN WITH A SQUEEK LIKE THEY WERE ON A STRING, OTHER'S, WANT COME IN THE BEST CALLER IN THE WORLD.BEING AT THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME IS 100% EFFECTIVE (AT LEAST FOR SEEING DEER) YOU HAVE TO KNOW HOW TO SHOOT TO KILL THEM.

If I hadn't been in a stand 20ft up and seen him do it....it would definitely have scared the crap out of me too. I would have had no idea what that was.
Of course I was in WV...so I didn't have dozens of monster bucks come running in either when he did it LOL [8D]I'll bet all the dinks tucked their tails though....I know I would have if I was a dink.

WV how old was the deer you heard it from?

Germ, the soundI heard was exactly like the "growls/roars" between 4:40-5:05 of the video link you posted.

Rob..........do you believe Rybo heard his buck roar?

WV Hunter

I would say he was at least 4.5. Big rack, big body...definitely mature. One of the better deer I've ever seen in my deer woods in 20yrs. The weirdest thing about it was he stood in one spot for like 5 minutes staring right at me before he did it. Then stood there about 10 minutes afterwards until I couldn't see him anymore because of the dark. It was freaky. I stayed in my stand 1/2 hr after dark until I was sure he was gone.

I can't listen to the sound on the DVD because the pc I'm on right now has no sound.
