I have to thank Gene and Barry Wensel for sharing the snort wheeze info on deer. It was the biggest factor for me killing this buck. I`m sure there were some who knew of that call before them, but them sharing that info was the first I had heard of it.
I called him back to me 3 times and witnessed some other really neat deer behavior, before I shot him. If I had not known the call, he passed me and would have just kept going. I tried the can call and grunting at him to no avail.
He came back looking for a fight, tearing up trees and had little focus on the camo blob in the tree.
I centered his heart at 10 yards and he only went a few steps and fell over. My first kill with the single bevel grizzly,pretty nice results.All I had to do was strop it and it is back in service, hair popping sharp with no damage.
He is not a great buck, especially for the area , I had to shoot him to complete the memory.
Keep that call in your bag of tricks, it can work when the stars align. Thanks again to the Wensels for sharing.

Congrats on a great buck Brian! I killed a similar buck a few years back using the same tactic....and crediting "the bros" for the info as well.
Since that time, I've witnessed bucks using the snort-wheeze naturally many times, and have called in several others myself. Cool stuff.

I have managed to scare a couple of bucks with the snort/wheeze this season. We must have some sissies in these parts.

Can someone explain the snort wheeze?

That's a beautiful buck, Brian. Any time, any day of the season. The wheeze can sure make things interesting on bigger deer. Scares the heck out of the little ones, though.
-
Every time i've tried the snort/wheeze the buck/bucks have ran the other way…all those deer would have been 2.5-3.5 years old. Beautiful buck by the way. Congrats!
-
Looks pretty great to me!

Scott, there may be someone with a better example, but here is one sample, at least, of what is being discussed:

Looks like a great buck to me! I don't know why but in recent years I have had even better luck with wheezing them in. Might be that I've just gotten better at knowing when to do it but it is very deadly.

Funny story: I bought a call that was a grunt on one end and a snort/wheeze on the other. Sitting in my treestand on November 15, a real big boy came running past, nose to the ground after a doe that had just gone by. I decided that THIS was the moment for the snort wheeze so I reared back and let one loose-- from the wrong end of the call! Instead of Ffft--fft--ffft--FFFF it came out erp--erp--erp--ERRRP. Forunately, he could have cared less about whatever sound I made--the doe was hot and he wasn't paying attention to much else. I was glad there were no human witnesses......

Nice buck Brian. Congratulations!!
