![]() You've been on this site for three months and you're qualified to make this statement!!? But the fact is, there are more people on this board pretending than there are "experts" And you can take that to the bank. I kill big deer every year, because thats what I hunt. My comment wasn't just about the snort wheeze, it was a generalization about how people get on here and push the numbers of yrs they have hunted pretending to be an expert because they have killed a couple big deer. That's gospel.Īlthough I'm not a " all-star" I pretty sure I know what I'm doing Results are results, personally I don't care what others hear, see or don't. Your statement above makes you sound like one of the guys you know that can't find their azz with both hands. To be fair it was unknown that the guy was mistaking an alarm snort with the snort wheeze. When a guy says he hears it a couple of times per week for most of the season. ![]() So when I say I've only heard it a couple of times, it's not horse crap, it's the truth. I spend the entire month of Nov, a lot of Oct and Dec as well in this pursuit. I have hunted for mature bucks for 17 seasons and have taken as many bucks 3 1/2 and older. I hunt in a trophy rich environment and have only heard it a couple of times. He's got tons of time in the woods and has taken a lot of deer. If Davidmil says he's never heard it, I believe him. ![]() Especially when guys are hunting in areas where the buck/doe ratio is out of wack. To hear a buck make the snort wheeze is not real common. I know a lot of guys who have been hunting a lot of years and cant find their azz with both hands. On the other hand all these posts where people come on and say "I have been hunting 75 yrs and never heard or seen that" are horse crap. I only call from "callable" stands, with good conditions. Like any type of calling, the cover, distance the animal you're calling, and wind directions are all critical. For the record, all the snort weezes I've ever heard were so quiet you could barely hear them at 30 or 40 yards. If you want to snort weeze, you can duplicate the sound with you're mouth just as easy as any "call". We burned something like 4-1/2 hours of footage in one hunt, and to this day - filming that encounter and the number of vocalizations that are that rare - was something of a dream come true. He fended off probably a dozen bucks that afternoon, ended up bedding 30 yards from us with her, and finally breeding her about 40 yards from our stand. We were lucky enough to see that 4-1/2 court a hot doe for 4-1/2 hours one day - all within 50 yards. ![]() Counting those two "snort weezes", I think I've only heard it a total of maybe 6 times in 18 years of hunting. We also filmed a 4-1/2 snort weeze at a buck coming in to check out a hot doe that the big boy was defending. We filmed a 2-1/2 year old snort weeze at a doe this year (that he was chasing). Like any type of call, the right buck in the right mood - yes, it will can them in. ![]()
