New vocalization

[backyardtndeer]

Grunts sound like grunts but outside of that they have an entire language that only they seem to understand.

Yep, watching them you may hear some of them. Cool those cameras have such good microphones.

Didn't some company sell a "buck roar" call at one time?

Primos did, still does.

I've heard a similar sound before at a distance.
I call it a grunt -(tic-tic-tic) - growl .
It starts with a long , low grunt , on to several rapid ticking sounds usually followed bye a running gruntal/ growl..
The tic sounds like popping your tongue in your mouth.

I've always thought it was a posturing move… doe or buck..

There was chasing going on when I've heard the sound as well.

And I think the Durury Boys did make a grunt roar growl call at one time. Maybe it was Grunt, snort , wheeze, I'm thinking of.

I can sorta Imitate it with my grunt tube also..
Never has never worked that I remember.
Not at that tone anyway.

There is a 3.5 yr old 6 pt that has been frequenting my plot and every time a doe comes out he makes the same noise

The ticking sound a buck can make is very odd. I heard it for the first time several years ago. I was right near a thicket. I kept hearing it but couldn't figure out what it was. I knew some deer were in the vicinity.

I think someone on here talked about and that's how I learned it was a buck.

I call it clicking, but on calm days hearing one I can't see clicking always gets my attention. In my experience clicking has always turned out to be from at least a 3.5 year old bucks.

He started out with a tic grunt and tried to go into a growl.

I used a tic grunt this year to turn a big 6 year old around to put an arrow in him. That's my go to call when I have a mature buck close. I've never heard a young buck make that vocalization before, which is why I use it on old mature deer.

Who he is growling at is off camera in my video. Would love to know who. But he had been chasing does in the plot just prior to that.

I've seen bucks do that several times. Every time it appeared to be frustration, as the doe just wouldnt cooperate.

I know the feeling!

Think it would work if I did that to my wife? I'll have to ask her...

Don't ask first. Just try it and then report back on if it worked or not.

Ha! Will do!
