"The farther one gets into the wilderness, the greater is the attraction of its lonely freedom."
Getting this thread back on track. For those that want to hear what a grunt and snort wheeze actually sound like.

If it’s of any interest I could take some pics of some of my locations showing the habitat I target, examples of heavy rut sign and what I look for when searching for locations. These maybe western Alberta locations but the areas are all crown land timber whitetail hunting and I applied the same tactics in many parts of B.C..
I don’t post pics so I may need to get some assistance. The offer is there and anyone who has been on this forum for any length of time knows I don’t normally do any form of pics lol
Wild one;
Sharing how you choose a Whitetail Spot would e greatly appreciated. I may have to look for a new spot as several "Miners" have crowded my favorite Whitetail Spot.
Wow, that is beyond awesome! Have you had much luck using these sort of calls while hunting? Is there anything you prefer over the other? doe bleat > grunt > rattle > snort wheeze ?
Sorry to hear you have losers messing with your stuff Ourea. Some people really are pathetic..
Managed to get a few videos like that over the years. Definitely super cool. I've done some grunting/rattling in the past with fairly good success. It can be a very effective tactic when the pecking order is getting sorted out and things are ramping up (like right now). I'd caution against calling at your site unless you plan on harvesting. As a very selective hunter, I don't call anymore as deer wise up to it quickly.

Interesting info HighCountry, thank you! I'm thinking of trying to get a wt before the end of the season. My very first deer was a wt buck during the rut. Definitely very different than md. So cagey. Incredibly fun though. Being as I'm still new, I'll be pretty grateful for any buck so I may try doing some calling and see what happens.
