Who stops their deer for the shot ????
 

As seen in videos like the Primos series - who makes some sort of ' Maaaahhh' or grunt sound to bring a walking animal to a stop before taking your shot ??

I personally do not. I like the total surprise thing I guess, and have been afraid to spook the animal..........

I am really interested to hear everyones responses.

I do. I make a sort of grunt with my mouth then shoot once the deer stops. I have never had a deer spook when I have done this.

I grunt to stop a walking deer but prefer to hve them stop on there on.

Ditto the above.

I usually maaaaa them to a stop.

Sometimes I get too excited and forget and just shoot, then maaaa after the shot:D

I can never remember to........I prefer them to stop on their own.:D

I always MAAAAA them if they are moving quickly with purpose - usually with just my mouth - If you wait for them to stop in this case - they are out of range and its too late.

If they are out of range - I' ll try a grunt call to get them to " swing by" a little closer.

In both cases - I utter a quick - less than one second - Grunt/bleat of sorts - so the deer cannot " fix on" my position.

If the deer is slowly moving through - picking along, maybe browsing - I' ll never make a peep.

Not exactly bow hunting, but once during shotgun i had a buck running away from me in the woods as i was headed to my stand, and he was just about to exit the woods and i wouldnt have had a shot, so i whistled as loud as i could and shot, lets just say i didnt make it to my stand that afternoon;)

I was watching one of those hunting videos at wal-mart the other day. This HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE MONSTER comes walking by this guys stand and he trys the BAAAAAAAaaaaaaa to get it to stop and it bolts like crazy. He started cussing and it was censored lol, he did get a deer but no where near the size of this BEAST!!!!!!

Typically only if they are moving at a good clip. But it is usually a soft ehhhhh and then release a split second later. Haven' t had any spook on me yet, not that I would really know though, they are usually running with a hole in them!:D
