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

Yes I did atlas, I've posted it on here way back when I shot it, and again in this thread. All the events that unfolded beforeme atthat time were the coolest thing I've ever experienced in the woods. The intensity the big buck went at the little buck with and the noises he let out were awe inspiring. Like nothing I've ever seen before

Well I've had some pretty good luck with "the can" and the true talker, but when I used the roar, the deer were gonzo! But, if I threw corn on the ground everytime I blew through the thing - eventually they'd come running over to me too...

Here is my ?, I think the drury's got it wrong(IMO) The deer in the video and the one's you heard(shot) are not Dominant bucks. Is the deer making the noise to challenge for dominance? If so why did all those dinks come in on the video?

The bucks in the video definitely seem like dominant, or the most aggressvie bucks, in each frame. Whydo you think they are not dominant bucks. And as to the buck i shot, he weighed in at 200lbs on the hoof, scored 132" w/ a broken brow tine that would have put him at 137", he was aged at 4.5. he was also the biggest buck i had seen out of 16 i had seen in six days of hunting that week on the same farm. And he very well could have been the dominant buck, but i dont think you can tell that just from a pic.

I don't think a buck needs to be dominant to make the noise, I think dominant bucks are more prone to make it. All I think needs to be isa situation where the buck is REALLY agitated and ticked off. Or some other highly charged mindset.

The Growl/Roar is not just a Dominate buck thing, I have seen a 6pt make it. It is a Deer Vocalization! And Dominate Buck and Biggest Buck are not necessarily the same Buck!
