Do you Snort Wheeze?

Snort wheeze, Ozonics, and rage broadhead = big bucks

Snort-wheeze only as a last resort and I've never had a deer come in to it.  I've had them stop for it and look around, but then continue on the path they were following.  It's a challenge to another buck and most likely the buck won't answer the challenge unless he is a bruiser or just batshit crazy.

Nope. I just yell "Yo Buck". Works every time.

yes. i have killed deer because i use it.

normally as an attention getter when i know i don't have a natural chance. i have turned them 180* and come right to me. 

it is seasonal for sure.

I have heard both snort-wheeze and been scared many times by the roar.  The roar is something crazy to experience. 

You don't hear either that often but the roar is a WTF moment...haha  I have only heard the roar twice in 40 years

I have heard it and used in often in Ohio. Killed a few deer by using it and have been a bit hesitant to get down at dark once because more than one buck was acting very aggressive in front of me because of a doe in the field. 

I never heard a buck "roar" until I began hunting Ohio. Hear it all the time there. Most are very loud and intimidating but one I heard once was downright scary. Sounded almost like a bad a$$ dirt bike going from zero to 100, through an amplifier.  I've used the Primos Buck Roar to kill a few deer out there and have grunted in countless ones, but never had a roar call work in NJ.

I've shot a couple  of bucks with the grunt. Snort wheez is a last resort. I have been able to get their attention but never come in for a shot.

All kidding aside,  the snort wheeze works under the right conditions, just like any other call. I have used it to call mature bucks into shooting distance. I recommend starting with a grunt call, then moving to a snort wheeze if necessary.  I killed deer using it with the hair standing up on their necks. Yes it works.

Yeah I have done it and it works good on mature bucks over young bucks

Are there ANY OTHER bucks by you other than mature bucks, John??

You reside in the land of the giants!

I've heard it a few times in the woods, Always rut, always mature deer, and the first few times I had no idea what I just heard. Have never used it at a deer, grunts and bleats for me.

Turn up the volume

[Stan Putz]

Only when I eat hot peppers or 5 alarm chili.

When the time is right I snort wheeze, grunt, rattle, get out of my stand to break branches, kick leaves making one hell of a ruckus to attract big bucks and it works, but I would not try this in NJ though.

You know when you're doing it WRONG when every deer within earshot runs out of the woods.

BUT....
