Deer Sounds You Should Know! Fundamental Breakdown

[@jdonez8347]

You ain't lyin boy, I've called in several with that snort wheeze, and them Bucks come to me on a string....keep that content coming.

[@Lylysspn67]

I once went to a petting zoo and I had a full grown buck walk up to me making those “curious grunt” sounds and I was NOT scared. I innately knew that he was friendly and wanted the food I had for him… my guy cousin on the other hand thought the buck was gunna try something and came quickly over. But I swear, there was nothing threatening in that tone or the walk he was walking. My “gut instincts” have saved me time and time again and it never got triggered during this event ❤

Been hunting for 35 years best video I've ever seen...Thanks Mr.Waddle

[@codyhussey1461]

Growing up from about the age of 4 till I was 13 years, I hunted and learned a lot from my grandpa ( my dads never been a hunter). Once my grandpa passed away when I was 13 I had to learn and grow as a hunter on my own, I am now 24 and this will be my first year ever hunting with a compound bow( no one in my family knew how to use one.). With that being said, thank you mister Waddell for all the endless amounts of knowledge over the years.

[@johnqtrump9495]

I feel where your coming from. Had a horrible teacher for hunting with my stepdad from 10 to 17. Never even shot a deer til i was about 30. And just killed my first deer with a bow last season at 34 years old a Split tine 9 pt buck. 3 weeks later killed a 10 pt with a 2 ft spread and 8 in brow tines at 215 yds with a 450 bushmaster

Good luck young man on your hunting adventures

[@owenhalverson9119]

Good luck, man. I just got out today and jumped 2 doe didn't get anything, though but I know they are in my spot

[@robinworkman3621]

I've been in the woods with my dad since before I could hunt.no doubt he's taught me a lot. But I've learned a lot by make ng my own mistakes. And I've noticed my dad is set in his ways in some regards.im sure I am too.i like to listen to folks and try new things,after all there's more than one way of skinning a cat.

[@landyncoffey7509]

Same here but with my uncle he past 2 year ago with cancer and now I’m 18 still figuring it all out

I don't even hunt but this video is spectacular and this man is havinga blast sharing what he loves. Kudos brotha!

[@SteveSSBB]

I'm not a hunter, but I spend a lot of time in the woods. Great education. Thanks!!

[@MoonlightDawnMoolightDawn]

I come from a family of hunters... I tried but I've got a bleeding heart YET I eat meat - I love venison!! I was heard a buck snort at me at sun-up the other morning and was looking for a meaning to that sound and stumbled across your video. GREAT VIDEO! I'll pass this on along to my hunting family members.

[@emilejanse2672]

"The bucks aren't worried about social media" 🤣 hilarious contextual one liner. I'm new to hunting but it's cool to hear you making all these different inflections through the same tool to transmit different meanings through subtle tonal differences. It's like you speak deer and I really feel like it makes sense as you explain it.

[@mikebrennan4534]

Had my youngest son in the stand with me for the first time just to watch pre season. 4 nice bucks came out to the feeder. The oldest deer kept looking up at us and my son kept moving. Ths buck busted us with a loud blow. All 4 bucks took off running. Within 1 minute all 4 returned and ate corn for another 20 minutes just watching us as we watched them. Hell of a first watch for my son.

[@johnbelusko6347]

This is what i lobe anout Wadel. He said it himself he speaks straight from the heart straight forward no sales pitch lies or nothin. I could listen to this guy talk all day long. And the way he puts things into an understandable perspective makes it all very understandable and easy to remember. Thanks alot man.

[@StickHippieOutdoors]

Waddy, I love your videos, I appreciate how you break things down like we’re dummies without talking down to us, best of luck to you and the rest of the Bone Collector family this fall

As a new hunter with no mentor, this was wildly informative.

[@ishnifusmeadle]

Welcome. I too didn't really have a mentor or much guidance other than research and woods time. And am honestly still new....only been hunting for maybe 7 seasons. Now I live up new England way and stuffs different in my neck of the woods, and this is solely my experiences, but I've almost never heard deer calling in any form, outside of a couple doe bleats when a group were feeding spread out in the woods. Many folks fall prey to thinking they need all the "right tools" to go hunting, and round here it basically seems to boil down to you firearm/bow, you warm clothes, some type of scent blocker (or least trying to mitigate human scent) and the wind. Most things sold to hunters are like the wonder items sold on late night infomercials. That said having a grunt/bleat and maybe a rattle and knowing how to use it are definitely worth doing, just don't stake ur hunt on em. Use them 1/4 as much as you think u should.

[@TNTOutdoors4U]

Such a great video! Thank you!! Been using grunt calls for years with good success, but as an average hunter, I like (actually need) to watch/listen to the pros every year to refresh my understanding of what effective calling should sound like. Great demonstration - thank you! The information and wisdom you pass on from a lifetime professionally dedicated to the pursuit of what is all of our obsession & passion, hunting & the outdoors, is immeasurable! And the way you share your knowledge with such humility and respect, is like I’m listening to one of my buddies, or maybe even more accurately, like fatherly advise. Every video is like I’m talking to an old friend. Priceless!! Thank you!!! 👍😁

[@Sully4Real]

Being a Ga Hunter myself I appreciate these videos Mr Waddy!! These West Ga deer I hunt aren’t very vocal that’s for sure..But it sure is exciting when you do hear the grunting of a big buck!

[@JerryTolley420]

That doe bleat saved my hunt on my biggest buck ever he was running behind 2 small does, and I hit the bleat loud and the does and him turned and ran straight back to my blind. I done it out of panic but it saved the day.

[@donaldsmith6404]

Great video for a young hunter can’t believe this isn’t more popular

[@prestonvandenbulcke4992]

Love how he so eloquently explains the deer "birds and the bees" 😂

[@sureshots8155]

He explained it the same way to his kids.

[@brandenmetcalf9944]

Called my first buck in last week. He was just. 1.5 year old but thought it was cool nonetheless. Essentially you’re learning to “spit game” to these deer. Taking them home is the game

[@RayKooter]

Love this guy Waddell. Met him in the early 2000’s when I was real young. Still have my hat he signed for me!

[@jacobpuckett7893]

Waddy loving these tip videos gonna put some of these grunts to use this weekend! Best tips so far have been the range finder around you shoulder but even better than that the knot on the end of your bow rope! Why didn’t I think of that sooner?

[@fvandiest]

Michael Waddell you did a great job explaining the deer sounds and teaching us to use the calls, thanks for all you do. I hunt mule deer and try to apply your calls. Its all ways fun to get a response back from the deer.

[@joes6883]

BC, this was a very informative video. I knew most of it but to get refresher points is always a good thing. The Wife and I had a few good laughs on your illustration of different scenarios. lol. Appreciate it sir. I subscribed. Stay safe. This is a hunter from the Hoosier state. 👍🦌

[@erikschoff2272]

I started in 2007. Since then, I have only 4 years where I had a week or more to hunt. Most of the time, I get 1 to 3 days. I'd really love more time or better quality hunts. I'm almost mid50s. I'd love to get a mature buck.

[@ShaneStewart270]

Good video. Middle Ga Hunter here. Y'all should do a contest call it a Hunt club makeover.

[@rerere175]

10:20..SO this is something I have always wondered. Can grunts and doe in heat scents be used earlier than normal to trick bucks into thinking rut has begun?

[@aaronmorrison4327]

Man you put on a good demonstration. You guys are the best. IMO

[@Splitshot1]

Good timing on this video..Here in Wisconsin it's already in the air...Oh, things are about to get real good.

[@hoyt15flhtk82]

Great info Waddy amd i sure hope your in Iowa now, causebits about to kick off here on the 28 Oct 23. Seen 2 bucks today , nose to the ground on the move at between 3 and 4 pm. GOOD LUCK and KEEP THE VIDEOS COMING!!!

[@scottielee237]

Thanks for the grunting info I am 35 grew up hunting with my dad never learned correct way to grunt I have tought myself to do so and actually having decent luck other then sometimes the bigger buks don't pay it any mind I'm going try ur blowing technique to try to get his attention he has stayed back all of bow season can't get him in close enough to shoot butt your video is very informational thansk

[@chadsweigart1597]

Thanks Waddy. Likethe video. Used a snort wheeze for the firsttime this weekend and had a buck come in on a string.

[@MINIHAHA1]

You and the boys are great man. I'm always learning from your videos. Keep em coming

[@bamagrunt2385]

My favorite call that I have found with the best success is a doe grunt it works all season long and here in Alabama where you have like 3-5 different periods where it’s rut or not I have found it best to use

[@adamngooddude183]

My view on a deer blowing is hey, maybe I messed up, but at least there’s some deer close by. And he’s right if a buck blows, good luck seeing him in the area again any time soon.

[@phaxiong95]

Michael, back in 05 I was rifle hunting up north of Mn I was still looking for a tree to climb then I herd a buck roar like a cow closer to me when I a rookie

[@jbsanders826]

I do a doe estrus bleat call followed by a buck grunt a lot. Trying to get that scenario out there that a buck thinks there is a hot doe out there and another buck is trying to chase it. It is worth many times for me and it got me one record buck in the state. Still hurt a great video. I enjoy watching and listening to others techniques to still learn from.

[@TheGuyFromWI]

I promise you I’ve grunted in more bucks with the OG flextone bone collector than ANY other grunt call. I’ve been side by side with buddies in the stand and watched them grunt at deer with no response and hit the bone collector and they turn on a dime. It also stays warm like he said and you can blow through it almost silently to unstick the reed on bitter cold days.

[@AdamAlbright-u4l]

I would love for you to explain a little further about how frequently to use each call when you’re using them in the field. Every half hour? Every hour?

[@bobbyboothe8964]

Great video and information. Thanks. Good luck to everyone this Year hunting. GOD Bless

[@matthewurynowicz9163]

Good information had tried calling in the past but might give it a shot again. But is it true that a doe bleat needs to be short? I watched a video guy claiming that can call is wrong it is too long and that is an alarm call. So any truth to that?

[@shanetrudell4061]

I'm still packing bone collector flex tone had it for at least 10 years

[@tater357]

There's one such grunt that I never heard you mention, and thats the long projected grunt that a Buck makes when he's got a doe and he's warning other bucks to stay away. Only the Dominant Bucks make this call and it's very effective on bringing another Dominant Buck into the area if one is within hearing distance. I heard this grunt the day before I harvested my previous all time best, the next morning I tried to mimic that sound using my grunt call, and he came walking out of the holler looking for a fight. EVERY hair on his back was bristled up and he was looking for the fight I was calling him too. Ever since I heard this call, I've been harvesting some nice Bucks and have had the oppurtunity at no success to harvest a nice buck, and I really believe it's one that will benefit alot of hunters.

[@lsulaw91]

I have several buck grunt calls but I love the sounds of the contender and the challenger. Can’t wait to use them when I travel to northern Missouri for the rut. Thanks!

[@michaelbarlow6062]

Good video 👍👍 I got a pic on my trail camera 2 days ago of a spike trying to breed a doe

[@cadecrocker886]

they actually do make a Deer Blow call. Don’t look like much, but it’s best used when you are stalking deer and want deer to move in thick cover. The “alert” make deer begin to leave the area. Especially affective near bedding.

[@stevencochran4274]

Yes I use deer blow to clear area after dark so I don’t have sit n stand hr or 2 y deer feed after shooting light … works way better than get n busted n giving up my spot to lead doe

[@jamesfinney8841]

I was hunting in Northern Idaho on a ridge overlooking a valley. I heard a buck grunting above me moving quickly. Took me a minute but I realized it was a raven perfectly imitating a buck. He flew over me 3 times grunting that morning😂

[@mechanichandz8087]

QUESTION! here out west we primarily are huntin muleys, are these calls effective for muleys as well?

[@kalebmcdaniel9147]

No mule deer are not very vocal.

[@charlesswiger2260]

Great video waddie keep them coming buddy !!!!!

[@earache_srt8790]

7:54 central Texas I hear them and often aren’t sure whether it’s a hog or not. If it’s not heard again shortly then it’s a buck. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

[@chuckpodruchny6048]

I remember the first time I heard one grunt exactly like you said… I was hunting in the morning I came out about nine or 930 I walked about 100 yards out of the woods and realized I left my flashlight… I was unsure if I would hunt that stand that evening so I decided to go back and get my flashlight. When I got back just about to my stand, I looked and there was a doe about 20 yards from my stand… All of a sudden I heard that real quick grunting noise sounded just like a pig. I actually looked around in amazement like what in the world and I couldn’t believe it 🤦‍♀️It was the biggest 6 point I have ever seen in real time😜🤪😢😂 he just about ran over me and his nose to the ground running back-and-forth😜🤪😂

Yesterday morning i had 10 does come in, then a young 3point buck, all within bow range. Then a stud came thru last bout 60 yards away, just outta bow range for me.

I've always wanted calls to work. I've never seen one work from the stand. With a grunt call I can get them to look but that's it. Every time I've ever rattled the deer run in the other direction.

When I was out 2 nights ago I had a doe within 40 yards smell my estrous scent I had out it started to blow/snort for like 2 minutes straight. I blew about 20 times, never ran off, just casually walked to the other side of the field I was in.

[@jakemitchell1671]

I tried grunting and rattling for years with no success. I gave up. Then someone taught me some of the same principles regarding when, where, and why that Michael discusses here. Since that time the grunt call - and perhaps to a larger extent, the doe bleat - have helped me harvest many deer. I used to just grunt randomly. Mr. Waddell explains that it's all about context - time of year, rut, situations....excellent video, and his passion is obvious. Aside: one late afternoon I heard a mature buck walk into a group of 3-4 younger bucks huddled around a hot doe and make a sound I've never been able to document or find anyone ever talking about it: It was a very fast, high pitched "buzzing" sound. Interestingly, the mature buck ignored the other deer and started feeding on acorns. I've never heard this sound before or since, and evidently it's extremely rare. But I saw his mouth making the sound. It was very fast click, but not like Michael demonstrated here. It was higher pitched.
