Sorry to hear about your father, I am sure he was a great guy. Lost mine 10 years ago and I still think of him and miss him, hope that feeling never goes away. Been deer hunting 40+ years and only take a grunt tube and only use it when I see a buck when I'm sure he is bypassing me, and the old saying, never grunt when a deer is looking at you is painfully true!

It was inevitable I would have to move at some point and I didn’t want it to spook the buck in the next 2 hours when the sun went down. So I moved my arm, her ears and head went up, moved my arm again and off she went back to mum. 20 seconds later mum came charging through the woods, got close and let out a HELL OF A SNORT. hahaha

Side note on snort wheeze One evening i sneezed in stand and that spooked a doe i never knew was there. To save the sit, i immediately blew my grunt call. That made a huge buck stick his head up and do the "Predator" clicking noise. Super super aggressive. He never gave me a shot in the thick stuff but it was unreal to hear that noise come from a deer.

Should have said come here deer

I completely can attests to the situational nature of the “Snort-Wheeze” I once had a mature 4X4 buck come in escorting a doe and her fawn. The doe and fawn walked across a little field toward my blind to come to the feed site, the buck went straight through the trees for the food... I snort wheezed, and he IMMEDIATELY bristled up and marched his tail toward my blind because his doe and fawn were behind me. I let him walk. I knew there was a bigger buck (which I might add, I got him!) An extremely situational call, the snort-wheeze. Greetings from Saskatchewan Canada 🇨🇦

Crazy good information! Thank you so much for all of your experience and wisdom. There’s not a ton of these informational videos on KZread. So when I find one I feel like I struck gold. I watch a lot of The Hunting Public and learned a lot but just got my first bow last year and still learning. Hope all is well!

I gave all three of my kids when starting out: a bow, a stand or blind and a grunt call. I taught them to only use the grunt call on a buck that you don't think he is going to present a shot opportunity. I have over the years experimented with all but your advice here is spot on. I've scared the crap out of my fair share. LOL. It's better to just sit quietly and hope to not alert any of the deer's senses. If you do get lucky enough to get a deer to come to a call, he is doing so on high alert and his senses are working O.T.

@robertwhite3752

Very good point on how “if you do get a buck to respond to your grunt he’s on HIGH ALERT!” And hence he’s watching every single leaf movement, and can hear a pin drop. Sometimes it does work out but I’ve been hunting for over 40 years now and I can honestly only think of maybe three times that it did work and everything fell into place. I just don’t use it anymore whatsoever. I just let them go and come back until the golden opportunity presents itself. I don’t use scents, calls, nothing. Just set up where they naturally are for the natural reason of the area!!

Shot my biggest buck to date 173” with a doe bleat, and a grunt sequence. Came in lip curling and scraping and rubbing trees what a show!

I just got a buck yesterday here in Connecticut. Passed in front of me about 70 yrds out. Went behind me heading to a field. I grunted Once and then I SHUT UP! He ate it up and came 20yds. First one for the season. Great channel I'm always learning something . Keep it up

I got my trophy buck with a snort wheeze last year was really cool watching him March in it’s good/humbling to know that won’t work with every buck thank you

The Can I used the first time and it called in a deer. Was the most exciting time in my short hunting experience.

Thanks for sharing. Some good information. I had an interesting experience once while I was ground hunting in a river bottom. I had a doe bleat "Can" and I made a couple of soft doe bleats and then put it away. Several minutes later, a squirrel, way off in the distance, started barking and whining. I knew something was up and I was on high alert. The rifle I had with me was resting on a bipod and was snugged up against my shoulder. It was a 45-70 loaded with a 405 grain lead bullet. As I was peering over the scope I caught some movement about 20 yards out. It was a Coyote that had heard the call and was sneaking in to get a chance at a meal. It was going to be his last supper. By the way, 45-70 is a great Coyote round. LOL

Very helpful. I haven't been hunting much yet, 6 years in. I've had success the past two years early november with a grunt call - 2-3 grunts in a row, wait 20 mins. Haven't seen any bucks at the time, but trying to call them from their beds and the marsh. I still don't really know what I'm doing, so your channel has helped a lot. Greetings from East Troy WI!

Jeff, my 2020 buck, Slim, had the same personality as Venty in that he was very passive. 4 years of post season pics never showed a single broken tine. I never laid eyes on him until 4 days before I arrowed him on November 1st and he was dangerously close to getting my downwind so I grunted and he tucked tail and slipped away. It was key info I used when he appeared 4 days later and I was patient to let him make the mistake of turning in my direction vs forcing the issue.

Great info. I agree with the "when" to use...even then you have to be cautious. I tell the people that come hunt my land, don't call from the box stand...because it's not a 360 view...only call from the open stand/tree stand...and that's after browsing the entire area. Now I just try to make sure I cover my scent in and out....I love this video. Still and quiet is the best advice I got on bucks. I grunt or bleat when I have a 360 degree view....and that's only sometimes. My best hunts have been getting in my stand, getting still and quiet. Last season, I was out specifically to do some doe management. Nothing on me, to attract or whatever, strictly just set up to get this one doe in particular. Like the camera's had shown, here she comes. She turns and gives me that perfect shot, I get on her, safety off....I hear leaves and branches to my right...Huge 11-point, got his eyes on that doe as well. she starts to make her way back across the field. Im in the woods, the buck doesnt cross the field but he walks the edge of the woods to circle, but crosses right in front of me. I drop him. In the woods just still and quiet, no calling, scents or whatever. Good hunting !! Great video! Definitely have a subscriber here....

That is one thing I was doing right. I never use those toys other than an occasional grunt call. Thanks for the helpful videos. The amount of knowledge one can obtain from your videos is amazing. Keep up the good work!

Solid info for those that haven’t had a lot of seat time hunting MI deer. It takes some restraint to not hunt like they do on TV, but how they hunt on TV does not work. Unless you go to southern Illinois or Iowa and then it’s just easy.

Last season I called in a beautiful buck running a doe down. Was very exciting and the first time in about 15 years that worked for me. Unfortunately he came in behind me and didn't offer me a shot. But loved that experience.

I had a nice 8 come in chasing a doe up on a ridge. I gave a wheeze and buck stopped looked down near me and headed my way looking for a fight. Shot at 25 yards but he ducked the arrow. The wheezing works for the big boys but anything small will run away knowing their place in the pecking order. I learned to only use it when i see a bigger buck but isnt moving towards my shooting lanes and hopefully the wheeze will bring him in. Its really cool when it works

Absolutely awesome video (as all yours generally are). I just sent this link to my friend. The grunt call has been my major go to when I spot a mature buck, they are either going to buy into it and walk in, or look around and see nothing and keep going about their business. Of course the times where they go about their business I always wish I had my decoy there for them to see. That being said, my decoy has spooked more deer than lured them in, in fact it has lured no deer in. I think it would work in those situations where the buck is looking for the buck that makes the grunt and there isn't one there, at least it would up the odds. But I haven't used the decoy this year simply because the odds of it spooking deer are greater than the odds of it pulling one in.

I agree 99.9%. My best hunts have been when I'm just hunting and not trying to call or get a bucks attention. Only once did I do a snort wheez to get a 160+ bucks attention and yes he turned around after he pissed on his hocks and he did come back to see what buck I was, he did hit the scrape 45 yards downhill to show his dominance and he looked uphill and he didn't see another buck and he turned around and walked away the way he came in. Best hunt of my hunting experience. I was in awe and glad I had the experience!! No I didn't take the shot but instead I took photos 🤷🏻‍♀️Great video Jeff.

Great information. Thank you so much for helping me learn how to hunt the mature bucks!

I totally agree with you Jeff.. ever since I quit using everything I’ve seen and harvested older bucks.. just me my bow and maybe a grunt tube.. stay still silent and as scent free as I possibly can. 👍🏻

Best deer hunting advice i ever got was from lt. Dan. He used to tell us to sit down! And shut up!

I am glad to see this video. Very nice. I have stopped using deer urine and a lot of scents. I do my mock scrape setup by using my own urine. then once the deer start using the scrape and licking vine I leave it to them. He has been my better success than when I was using scents. I also make my own cover scent from using natural foliage including apples and berries in the area. I boil this to make a tea and strain it. I spray this on my clothes and on my stand area. This seems to work very well. Several deer stands right around my stand and walked by, even with the bad wind. I will tell you this story. I was sitting on a side hill with a tree behind my back. I was watching a small open area just down below me that deer have been going through frequently. While sitting I heard something coming down the hill behind me. All I had done was spray myself with my homemade natural cover scent. What I was hearing was 4 deer coming down by me. They ended up standing right beside me. They were so close would be able to touch them by just reaching out. The first big doe was sniffing me and around on the ground, the doe behind her did the dame, They had two young bucks with them both looked to be 2 yrs old. after about I would say 5 or 8 min they continued down the hill. They went right in the valley I was watching. I now stick to just this and has been working very well. I ended up harvesting the first doe that stopped and sniffed me. Thanks again for this great video

There’s a lot of was to distribute scent from your stand;use a sling shot ,put scent pad on an old arrow,even a frisbee can be used to put scent out around your stand with out leaving your stand

I’ve called in several bucks in over the years with a grunt call. Everyone of them was looking my way as soon as they stepped into view all were highly alert

I had a snoort wheeze about 10 feet away directed at me in the pitch dark pre-dawn once. Couldn't see anything yet and I was on the ground against a rock with my shotgun. I had to yell out to get him to leave me alone. "Scared" is an understatement.

I have brought in numerous big bucks with a grunt call especially in standing corn when I see the rack in there. Also Primos can call will bring in a buck that is looking for a new doe to breed. Most of the time I will let out 3 doe bleets then hit the grunt tube a couple of times next. Works like a champ. All of your five on your chart actually work as long as the hunter knows what time and how to incorporate them at different phases of the rut.

Times that I've witnessed a deer wheeze is when one is running away after I've spooked them... Great information out of all your videos, new subscriber

always have been an avid hunter. But after 12 years i finally seen my first big trophy buck. a real nice 11 point. i have been watching this buck for 3 years in the up of michigan. let him walk once as an 8 point, and never seen him after halloween last year. so lately i've been studying more whitetail habits and trying not to over think and over act on everything to tag this buck. your video really helps decipher what i could have possibly been doing wrong last year! thank you for the great information!

I agree with this gentleman completely with one exception. Huge believer in scents use. I can't tell you the number I have had bucks respond to " tinks 69" . Shot bucks right in the middle of full lip curl many times. For cover I use skunk around stand after talking to wildlife photographer who has had several published photos and he was a big believer in skunk. As an aside Mississippi state researchers have now found that rattling is effective all season long and in fact slightly more effective in late season. This shocked me. Happy hunting!

I absolutely killed my honey hole last year by building a massive enclosed stand in September. Called on October 8th and a nice buck peeled off out of there. I used a grunt tube and fully extended the pipe (deep throaty grunt). He ran away over 1km blowing every 200m. No noise is better. After watching you videos I took on your tips. Already have a 10-point back in the same spot on camera this year.

Great stuuf as always jeff.

I've hunted high pressure areas for years. A distress call works for does. One half second grunt has brought young bucks in from 300+ yards to within 30 yards of my stand.. Scents and decoys have only had the effect of alert snorts. Making a mock scrape has brought deer to me while not even hunting. Chase grunt have brought in my 2 best bucks.

I've seen and heard one Snort/Wheeze on stand in MI. 2-3 small bucks were following a Hot Doe and 8 pt about 20 yards away during the pre rut. The dominant 8 pt. didn't want those punks following him and his doe. He turned around, postured and Snort Wheezed.

Great video. I agree with almost everything you said. The exception is the scent. I have NEVER had old Indian Buck Lure to spook an animal. The other scents have a place and time and if you use them wrong they WILL spook deer. Back in the 80's skunk scent was a big thing. Problem was a deer knows if a skunk sprays he was alarmed at something. Another problem was if you used too much skunk scent and got an updraft you could get sick. LOL, Don't ask how I know.

Very good information helpful confirms some of my thoughts.

I did this recently. Put the dreaded mock scrape drip out, three days after and I had half the amount of deer on cam. Removed it and 3 weeks later back to normal. So frustrating, but the truth is there. If all is there, stick to the basics and hunt the good weather days and stay downwind. Thanks for another great video 👏🏻

I’ve been using mock scrapes for a long time. I never use scent….a simple visual cue, will bring both bucks and doe.

Exactly as you said in beginning… those calls work for me maybe 20% of the time…. About 40% of the time they do nothing noticeable… about 40% of the time they actually distress the deer …. I’ve gotten a couple of nice bucks that I know for a fact I called in for a shot opportunity…. But most of the deer I’ve gotten have been by being as quiet & still as possible…. But the time of year also has a big effect on if the calls are helpful… late pre-rut seems to be a decent time to rattle & grunt… might increase the success rate to 40-50% in my personal experience… but honestly I hunt mostly silent all season long nowadays

I was hunting in the hills and I heard a snort wheeze, I did it back and a buck ran down the hillside and jumped onto the trail straight in front of me within 30 seconds. Buck fever got me 😂

I have hunted for several years and am one that likes to experiment with calls and making my own scents.The most positive things I have had great turnouts with are the grunt,decoy at the right time and the bleat.

I've used plain doe urine (non estrus) in a scent hanger pretty effectively all season

Thanks, I really enjoyed this video.
