I also saw the commercial the other night. You watch... If one of those PRO(motional) Hunters start killing big deer in those high fenced areas with one of these in their pocket they will sell like hotcakes in the big retailers located in the cities. I had to laugh when I heard them say it "Calms the Deer" when they hear other deer eat. Umm OK maybe I can modify my deer decoy so he licks his nu+$ that may also put them at ease.

As crazy as this sounds? Dont hit me with sticks but ducks love to hear the feed chuckle? Geese too! So im thinking gimmic like the snort wheeze? Ive hunted along time and ive seen alot ive never heard it in the wild. And it scares the crap out of deer on tv 9 of 10 times! But ya never know? Ill buy it if you try it! Lol

If used in conjunction with a feeding posture decoy it might draw an angry doe trying to defend it's territory, but I sincerely doubt that a monster buck would fall for that. Wait until it goes on clearance if you can't resist buying one, I'm sure there will be plenty left at the end of the season.

In testing by the HS guys last year they actually did have good luck with it. I've got one sitting within arms reach right now, ridicule me if you like but I'm going to try it, how else would you know.
Sure I'm not going to try it for the first time on a mature buck, but if I've got some young bucks or does I'll give it a shot. It is intended to relax deer, so I can say from experience if I've got a doe near my treestand that's blowing or stamping and may alert a big buck in the area, I'd do almost anything to shut her up. We'll see.
As for the snort wheeze, yes it scares deer, it's a challenge call it's going to -- But myself and others I hunt with have had it work when nothing else will, it won't every time and I don't just sit in my tree snort wheezing all day but there is a time and situation where it will work. Knowing when it's that time it the tough part, and we all guess wrong at one time or another.
