Thanks Gene and Barry Wensel
« on: November 28, 2015, 10:03:00 AM »
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.

Nice buck!  Yep that snort/wheeze does wonders if you have a buck with big boy pants on.

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.
