I'm fixing to be 50 and have hunted since i was about twelve. I just finally heard a buck vocalize about 4 weeks ago for the first time in my life. I didn't see them in the brush when i hit the grunt tube, but there were two bucks and a doe about 150 yds away and she definitely had their attention. When i hit the tube in just a few seconds there was huffing and puffing and grunting to my right, i looked for a couple minutes but still couldn't see them. I looked back the other way and it happened again. When turned to the right there was a big bodied 8 point buck standing in the clear lane facing me kinda hunkered down and pissed off that there was another buck grunting. He is now a European mount on my living room wall and a freezer full of meat. It was awesome, as i turned and he was standing there like that, my vision looked like a camera turning on a huntingf show to look at a fantastic deer.

thats an intimidating sound. if I was walking to my stand in the dark and heard this is would lay down and play dead. God damn grizzly deer ain't no joke.

He sees another buck!!

I lived in the mountains and around deer for about 15 yrs at least now and have never heard a buck's growl. I would crap myself if I heard this without seeing it. Sounds like a freaking zombie. lol Although I did hear something like this about 6 yrs ago and never could figure out what it was. It was in Feb at night. I had a shotgun and I heard some growling like this, but for some reason I thought it was a young black bear. Now I think I may have heard a buck, because it also ran away quickly while growling like this. All I know is my heart was pounding.

Hes saying, damm these big blue balls hurt!!! Owwieee

Heard it today for the first time in my life while checking a buddy's trail cam in an over grown apple orchard. I thought it was a black bear. As it finally walked away through a thicket I climbed up my friends ladder stand and saw it walk through an overgrown field and he was a big 8-10.

My wife loves it when I make this noise. She pees in my scrape! Lol

When ypu sleep funny, and wake up to everything hurting

Well, now I know where Silent Hill got the inspiration for some of its sounds.

I have heard this once in my life while archery hunting in PA. Pretty cool to hear in person.

I have deer that live in my woods around my house (pretty suburban mind you), on the side near my room, walked into my bathroom with blinds up and heard this sound just now. About had a heart attack . I am now scared of my bathroom for the night even though the air conditioning turning on definitely scared them / him off!

Several years ago I was hunting an area I call Oak Orchard. Eleven miles to the nearest full time residence. That year the Red Oakes dropped the most plentiful crop of acorns I've ever seen. And the deer responded by being there in unusually large numbers. One obviously large buck was doing his best to find one or more open doe. His sign was obvious and I decided try to walk in on him. So about mid-afternoon I picked up a pole and did my three legged deer walking approach to a seat I had weeks before set at the base of a big oak. And sat down and waited. Nothing happened until just before dark and at that point I decided to use my grunt tube. One short grunt and the brush started cracking and he let out a roar that was way louder that the buck in this video. It was like a small explosion in the woods and it actually scared me. I was inclined to get the hell out of there but managed to keep my cool and wait to see what happened next. My little compound bow seemed like a pitiful weapon at that point in time. But that was it. Not another sound,. And finally it was getting so dark I had to get out of there.

Insane. Love it. Thanks for sharing 😊

100% my guts after a Chinese buffet. Especially after closing down a bar the night before

WOW! That's sounds like me in the bathroom, in the morning after a heavy night of drinking!!

Very cool! Thanks for sharing!

I found this by searching for “ anyone ever heard a buck roar?” One time when I was hammering boards to a tree for a stand back in the 1970’s ( we did that back then before modern stands came on the market) I heard the most intense guttural sound about 50yds behind me in thick tall red brush. A few seconds later I heard it again but it had moved about 30yds to my right and it was loud and very intimidating! It sounded like it was really mad. I could not figure out what it was, and I had never heard such a sound before. After much thought I guessed it must have been some type of deer vocalization, and I knew there was a big dominant buck bedding in that area I was after. I have discussed this with fellow hunters over the years and nobody has heard what I described. All I can guess is my banging against the tree really upset a big buck who may have thought another buck was invading his territory. I’m glad he did not come charging at me from behind with a deadly rack of bone! He must have circled me and caught my scent, because I never laid eyes on him, or heard him sneaking through the thicket. A scary experience for sure, kind of what it must feel like when a bear growls at you from dense cover.

Sounding more like a sasquatch, he was probably looking for his buddy squatcho.

My wife says this is how I sound when I snore. 😂

Once heard one growl prolly 70 yards away I was while my buddy was 30 feet away from it. Said he’d never heard anything like it in his life. Makes the hair on your neck stand up. Monster of a 8 point and clearly the most dominant in the area.

Last night, while primitive camping up on Muddy Mountain near Casper Wyoming my wife and I heard this growling off in the distance. Nice to know what it was. At the time we found it more fascinating than frightening.

That is crazy

I was out picking moss for our garden and heard this. thought the neighbor was revving a chainsaw or something, I looked up and saw my head laml flashing back at me from 20' away. 'must be some metal shit'. grunting and stomping continues. took me a few minutes to realize it was a buck. and then I shit my pants

Sounded like a buck roar. Man he's not happy. You can tell he was chasing a buck off his territory.

Was he chasing a doe or a smaller buck? If I heard that in the woods in the dark I would be laying down a base of fire!

I've heard this with 2 brothers, friends,,, me and 1 thought bear,,, local here,,, other was 100% huge, dominant buck! Later confirmed on cam! Was mind blowing !

I have heard them sound scarier than this. They do it at dusk. Make scary noises in the trees. Sound demented.

This is why people think bigfoot are everywhere, hearing this! Lol

you had your shot!

Ive just recently moved away from inner city living and stay on the outskirsts of a fairly large section of forest. Ive seen the deer tracks and knew they came pretty close to the actual house, so I sat outside with a flashlight in the dark and waited. Long story short, about 3 AM I seen an eye shine maybe 5 feet into the brush at the edge of the yard so I started to slowly move closer (mind you I only can see the eye shine not the actual deer) and when I got about 15 feet away it started making this sound, so I quickly retreated back inside. Do only bucks make this sound and do I need to worry about the deer charging me when I have a midnight smoke xD Someone help a city boy out xD

The hay on the ground! Lol 😆

Hello fellow Reddit thread people

I didn't know dear made those kind of sounds if I heard that I would think it was Bigfoot

That was awesome! F.F. Hannah Barron(the Real Hannah) can make that sound with just her throat. It's part of a pig sound she makes but could easily made to sound like a buck growl. I just tried it myself and I think I could pull it off. Probably not as loud but good to know if I ever need it. Thanks!

I'm very curious to know if he was challenging another buck to a fight there? Was he on a hot doe? It's very rare to hear them growl like that.

My guess is that he ate some bad chilly.

i have heard this once, long ago, Never could figure out till now what animal made that sound

Hunting on a hangover is a bitch ,, we're is my peppttoe

I've have heard this twice figured it was a bigfoot.

He's got indigestion!!!

Or maybe he was having a Bruh moment!!

Totally bizarre, and the way it was acting also very strange,, Was it me or did i hear another set of feet crunching in the snow ? Was the 2nd time it stopped,,, and then started walking is when i heard it,,

Female hunter here using my husbands account , yesterday was the 4th day I've hunted just started hunting for the first time 4 days ago , yesterday I was in the groundblind alone I had been in the woods for a few hours without seeing or hearing anything so I decided to pack up when I heard my first buck growl, I was absolutely terrified never hearing it before in my life I never seen the buck just heard his growl for about 15 mins ,it was a lot more aggressive than this bucks growl though ,but now I know if I hear it I'm staying

Thats a crazy noise, i heard one doing that for the first time this morning before daylight

What was this filmed on?

Stop farting dude you’ll scare that buck away !!!

He *run*

Was that you grunting or the buck?

You city people kill me 😂

Beer Burp😊

What did he run into?

I thought that was my wife for a moment.

This is the sound that scares all the citiots from Twin Cities out of the north woods. Go home.

Sasquatch

Sounds like my stomach

Is this you calling or the buck?

what kind of deer is that?

This has been my first year hunting, and I heard this type of growl about two weeks before firearms season. I've been trying quite successfully to replicate it as realistically as possible. Haven't had a chance you use it in a blind sequence yet but I have a feeling when I do I'm gonna see the dominate buck in the area if he is in ear shot

anyone else here from cryptzoo? lol

Get out of here stalker

Sounds so fake lol

The ominous background music ruined it. The whole soundtrack, including the growl, could have been done in a studio. What was the point of the creepy soundtrack anyway? It did not enhance anything. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Just let nature impress us.
