Deer Stomp and Snort

Whitetail deer doing a stomp and snort alarm.

[@johnfuller6870]

The lung strength of the whitetail deer is so under appropriated

[@cobaltcanarycherry]

Ever been sitting on a horse when they stand up and snort? Huge blast of air, and it feels like their ribs collapse under your leg. Scary, because if they bolt, you're going, too.

This lovely lady doesn't know she's dazzling thousands of admirers far, far away. Absolutely gorgeous!

[@ministack1016]

I love just having a snorting contest with deer, you can just go right back and forth with em

[@roddythemime2643]

I've always underestimated how huge their tails can be! She looks like she's wagging it around, the big fluffball!

[@jeremyrobs3643]

This video gives hunters PTSD

[@natureunfiltered]

LOL!

[@scottlewis8386]

Know the feeling very well

[@bassfisher685]

You ain’t kidding 😂😂😂

[@Shinzon23]

Why would it give you p t s d? Wouldn't the deer all run away from you, not at you?

[@bassfisher685]

@@Shinzon23 oh for f sakes 🤣🤣. U just showed you know nothing about what’s going on in this video

[@vivalabad6]

She smells you but maybe doesn't see you. I've had this happen to me a few times while fishing!

One summer my 4 year old daughter and I lived in a small fairly isolated cottage. I locked the doors at night. But it was HOT, so the windows were open. Around 2am I was sitting on my bed, reading. My bed was about 1 foot from a window - I was hoping to catch some breeze. Then a LOUD snorting started right outside my window. I was so caught off guard my reaction was to "assume the worst". ie I was terrified. I ran to my daughter. Locked all the windows in her room. Put her is a safe spot, then armed with tennis racquets I crept back towards the window. And finally spotted a friendly looking deer, who was still there, peering in, having a lovely great snort. So, that's me. frightened by a deer. My daughter still teases me.

[@natureunfiltered]

I love this story! Thanks for sharing!

[@grailqueen9971]

Beautiful.

[@cobaltcanarycherry]

Yup, she's their queen, assessing the danger and informing her folks.

[@heartofgold6940]

Tail go swish swoosh

[@LittleFuzzButt]

I was strolling through the woods today and heard a few snorts and what sounded like stomps. Since the area was so densely wooded, I couldn't see what it was that was making the noise. I assumed it was a white tail deer, but having never actually heard one make this noise, I wasn't entirely sure. I also wasn't sure if it was a female or male, but in case it was the latter, I made sure to pick up my pace. Thanks to this video, I can confirm this is exactly what I heard, though I'm still curious: does the male make this same noise too?

[@natureunfiltered]

Hi there! The answer to your question is Yes! They both do this. It is a kind of alarm that they know there is something there that doesn't feel right to them, or they are unsure about something. I love to hear that this video helped you confirm! Thanks for watching!

[@troymcclelland3743]

I was playing deer in rut sounds then this comes on, luckily I noticed

[@dianebinpa6668]

They are very cute.

[@naturalreach4316]

Wonderful nature

[@ricardoportalesgarcia9788]

Solo los había oído bufar,pero no los había visto bufando, gracias

[@patrickdaughtry3618]

" GO ON NOW! GET !"

[@danmetivaiii3664]

The Book of Buckilations states that "If She Blows, She Goes"!

[@jamesdunn7364]

This means. " I SEE YOU!"

[@TenPointTyrone]

Actually it means she's not sure whats going on

[@kappakeepo4499]

Means a smell you

[@azazel166]

It also means "watch out there is danger here" to deer who pick up the sound.

[@nsant]

My 3 year old stomps the same way

[@vanferrell7021]

Nope I hear you I smell you but where the hell are you at I have seen deer do this constantly retired park ranger

[@nonamesexistanymore]

If this happens while hunting you might as well come down and call it quits for a couple of days. Everything in that area is gone.

[@TenPointTyrone]

Not true, a doe will blow when being harassed by bucks during rut they dont mind

[@douglaspariseau1478]

Not true I thought that also but I experienced the opposite I had a doe snort at me she snorted several times and then ran off and about A half hour later 3 bucks were chasing 3 does it was amazing.

[@normanorman]

Aww all the flies on her poor girl

[@user-xx3dv7yw1x]

Something smells fishy around here, i just can't put my hoof on it 🦌

[@LoThiPhuong]

Ôi đẹp quá

[@yeebhawj6840]

Chúc mừng cho con hâu🎉

[@raypalermo1603]

Does this mean they may attack you if they think you are a threat?.

[@herpderp3916]

I think it's their alarm. It lets other nearby deer know that there's potential danger around, but it can also tell predators "hey I know you're there, so don't even try to ambush me". Generally deer will run from threats unless they think they're cornered, so they might stamp and blow for a few seconds before they bolt.

[@darrelkopsa7143]

I don't need to watch this behavior, I already know how it works!

[@tidewaterflipper]

I believe deer blowing is they sense danger but are not sure of your location. The blow is sudden and loud and they want you to jump or move so they can spot you. Usually they have not caught your direct wind when blowing. Faint ground scent, perhaps. I have had a doe blow like this for 10 min but if they don't locate the danger, the whole herd continues to mill around but slightly on edge

[@Oecobius33]

It does seem to vary. I've had deer do this blowing behavior while looking at me right in the open in full daylight, so sometimes they'll apparently do it when they see you clearly but are still curious to gauge your behavior.

[@laukeshkumaroffical4205]

Alert

[@melissadavis5954]

I walked outside this morning to walk my dog and something huffed at me in the dark. I was pretty sure it was a doe but wasnt sure. Im like 100% sure now 😅 I have does and their babies living in my yard. My motion light hadn't kicked on yet but I ran back inside screaming like a little girl 😅

[@conflict7269]

If this happens its not good

[@johnabsher7437]

When the doe turns her head put the Scope crosshair on her

[@hyena_insanity7832]

Why doesn’t the deer run?? She’s just standing there? (Sorry I don’t understand why they do this, I know it basically means they think there in danger.)

[@natureunfiltered]

She is trying to determine if I pose a threat to her and if she should run. She can see me very clearly, I am not hidden at all while filming this.

[@scorpio1124]

Мне показалось или он простыл и чихает😮😮😮

[@davidhames319]

That’s a blow not a snort

[@johnmadia5229]

Worst sound ever when hunting

[@azazel166]

Perhaps your step isn't as light you think it is.

[@larrythompson5617]

She snorts to clear out the mucous from her nasal passages allowing her to get a cleaner sample of air in to analyze the type of danger. The sound is just a product of that which doubles as an alert to other deer. Both sexes snort for the same reason. And she stomps to try to get you to move so she can see that you are not an inanimate object.
