The idea that there are big buck grunts, small buck grunts, and doe grunts is baloney. A deer snort is not a danger call, it is an attention getting call. Learn to make a deer snort or get a call that duplicates a snort, and then understand some techniques for using a snort, and your hunting will improve dramatically.

There are three reasons deer snort: curiosity, anger and stress. Most deer hunters think a snort is an alarm call, like a turkey’s putt. When a deer snorts it is trying to get the attention of other deer. When a deer snorts, every deer within eyesight turns to look at it because the body language of the snorting deer will indicate to the other deer what the problem is.

Head erect, ears high tells you it is alert, suspicious. If you see a deer running, tail up, it knows danger is there and may also run off even though it did not itself detect danger. If a snorting deer does not run, neither will the other deer in the area. If deer ran every time they heard another deer snort, they’d be galloping all over the woods all the time.

The best thing you can do when a deer snorts near you is to snort back. Simply imitate whatever snort they do. By snorting back, you are telling that deer that you hear him. When a deer snorts, you must snort back.

When deer are grumpy with one an other, mostly during the rut, they do an aggressive snort, which reveals that he is mad. For the watching deer, the choice is to challenge or retreat.

You should snort when rattling antlers. Add the excitement of a snort-wheeze. When you rattle, begin with the snort-wheeze then clink the antlers together. Don’t grunt when you rattle, use only the snort-wheeze. When a deer hears a long, breathy snort accompanied by rattling, he believes he’s hearing a fight.

Bucks seldom come charging in when they hear this. They generally just appear out of nowhere. Once a buck is in sight, don’t rattle any more, but definitely keep using the snort call. Try to make it sound as if the bucks are facing each other and posturing, much like gobblers will challenge purr at one another.

The use of deer calls has escalated along with the rise in popularity of bow hunting. Bowhunters, looked for anything that might persuade a deer to come just a little closer.

Stop worrying about whether you are making a big buck grunt or a doe grunt. Watching the reaction of the deer to your calling is what counts. Learn how to read a deer’s body language, to understand its mood, and you will soon understand how to work the calls. Just get out in the woods and do it.
