Trail cam video of a whitetail grunting.

[lyallpeder]

I put my trail camera out on Nov 12 2023 on a scrape that had been used for 3+ years. The way my season worked out I decided to leave it out rather than walk in for it at 9pm after recovering my deer in another area, a couple days later.

This is one of the videos on it, not great quality but turn up your volume, it’s interesting to listen to how he grunts as he walks past. I guess that explains why I never have success with a grunt, I’ve been doing it totally wrong!

Very cool!

I think I'm doing it wrong as well.

Yeah they have short grunts, deep long grunts, high pitched piggy grunts etc that’s why when I use my grunt tube I tend to use all the various grunts I have heard.
Funniest was watching a dink buck chase a doe and the distress piglet sound he periodically made I almost puked laughing so hard and trying to keep it together 20 feet above the ground.

LOL! Those little bucks can be so entertaining at times!

Had one visit several times when I was hunting this one area, he was a real big shot when Mr. Big wasn't around.

Pretty cool the sound this buck makes.
The grunt is very short.

^ Ya that buck was clearly scent trailing.

To me the thing to take away is how short the grunt really is.

Cuz the natural tendency guys have (similar to ridiculously loooonnngggg moose calls), is to make longer grunt calls.

Some grunts are, I have sat and watched the same buck depending if he was chasing a doe or just walking about etc but there was long grunts, short grunts, high pitched and low pitched almost like a pig squeal and then a long deep burp.
Also lip curl and wheeze too which I toss into my arsenal two sharp short inhales and then a long inhale.
Crazy the noises these bucks can make when all worked up.
