RE: Snort wheeze
I had an small 8 and a 4 point going at it this year, the 8 snort/wheezed at the smaller buck just before he started to beat the living crap out of him!!!!!! Very good show I had that morning for about 20 minutes, kinda cool!

Wow, and its not even off season yet!
I think the Snort Wheeze is pretty well documented, its on the TV shows, I have it on home video, others on this thread have it on video and have even killed bucksusing it on video.
I heard it this year right befor 2 bucks started fighting.
I heard it last year when a young 8 pt that had been chasing a doe around that was not ready to stand for him, stopped right under my stand and cut loose with a Snort Wheeze. More of an act of being Disgusted!
They dont go through the woods grunting snorting and wheezing ever step and
calls are a tool to be used at certain times and not magic.
Deer seam to me more vocal in areas where the buck to doe ratio is more even so location (being at the right place at the right time) plays a much bigger roll than how many seasons you have spent in the woods on how many times you get to hear a Snort Wheeze!

RE: Snort wheeze
I've never heard a snort-wheeze, I did hear a buck sneeze once but there were no other deer around, maybe he had a cold or allergies?
I've only ben doing this 5 years so I could be wrong.

RE: Snort wheeze
20+ yrs of hunting, and I can honestly say that I have never heard a snort wheeze(that I know of). I certainly am not an expert on killing big deer or on calling, but I have spent alot of time in the woods and taken alot of deer. My gut feeling is this...ANY and ALL calls will work at the right time, on the right deer. And vice versa. I've seen bucks (that you would have thought would have come in) tuck their tails and run away at a grunt call. I've actually rattled a few bucks in as well, one that definitely charged in 2 times to the horns, pissed and ready to fight. Doe bleats...my favorite call for most of the season. I have actually heard a buck roar one time in my life about 10yrs ago...though at the time I had no idea what that buck was doing. Since that call came out, I realize what it was - now.I would venture to say though, someof these types of calls are much more rare (snort wheeze, roar)...as experience has proven. Nice deer USAF, congrats....but give Greg H his due. Davidmil has earned his keep as well. I think alot of these calls also have to do with WHERE you are hunting. In areas that have more mature deer, better buck to doe pops, you probably get more vocals and response to calls. I'm more like GMMAT....our does fight over the bucks! LOL, not much need for them to display dominance.
