Is this a snort-wheeze?

Turn up your volume and tell me if this buck snort-wheezes at about the 4 to 5 second mark in the video.

Sounded more like a sneeze to me.

It's some version of it, yes. More like. Snort snort without the wheeze

What he said. He was being aggressive toward the younger bucks.

I think so. He was bullying the little guys without being too hard on them.

I would go with sneeze or fart. I've done both several times today.

Given his body language and the younger bucks reaction I'm going to agree that its some version of a snort wheeze. Cool video, thanks for sharing.

Agree with this. Have heard deer sneeze before. Actually had a doe sneeze right behind us during the juvenile hunt and it had my son laughing.
