I often have a hard time believing how much time has passed since the warm November morning when a whitetail buck confronted me in a trail and taught me a lesson that I hope never to forget. It was almost eighteen years ago, but it could have happened last season and I don't know that I'd remember it any more clearly. Best of all, before the morning was over, I had me some fresh venison on ice.

Also learn and practice the snort weeze with your mouth, no need for a call. I use it effectively if a grunt doesn’t get him to keep coming close enough.
Good srticle Russ.
Thanks. I have made an acceptable snort-wheeze by reversing a grunt call before. Tried it on a small buck in 2008, and he started walking up the road towards me. I wasn’t going to shoot him but I was sitting right next to the road and wondered what I had gotten myself into. Then he turned and went the other way.
Nice to know I could have attracted the attention of a shooter if I’d wanted to, though. The place they kept crossing was very narrow and a nice could have slipped by before I had a chance to do anything about it.
