PAbowhunter4life Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Re: stoping deer.. Your uncle is far from crazy, I have stopped deer by talking to them before too. The funny thing is it never seems to truly scare them off, the initial noise startles them, but as long as u r still they usually won't go far. I actually talked to a 6 point during archery season for an extende dperiod of time lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Re: stoping deer.. sometimes i do, sometimes i dont. i usually like the deer to be stopped when i am taking a shot, and sometimes they stop without the grunt. if i do, its usually the "mah, mahhhh" type call from my mouth.

wtnhunt Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Re: stoping deer.. Sometimes you have to stop them sometimes you dont. Have used the grunt many times to stop and even turn deer. Have whisteled too. Have had some in November around the rut though that just would not stop for anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horst Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Re: stoping deer.. I cant make a grunt thats worth a crap with my mouth and ont really like to have a call in my mouth while im drawing back so I do kind of a bleat with my mouth. Last year I had a big 8 pointer come in, my first shooting lane I bleated at him and he kept going, second shooting lane i hollered softly at him and he kept going, last chance I stood up and yelled really loud in the stand, drrew back, and the deer never even looked up Guesse he was trailing a doe and didnt have time to stop LOL.

Swamphunter Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Re: stoping deer.. If they are running I'll whistle to stop them...if they are a slow walk, I'll wait until they stop then take the shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BuckMaster058 Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Re: stoping deer.. To tell ya the truth I like when deer are stopped and standing still, and I tried one time what shaun 300 says he does and it does stop them. So the mah mahhh sound is a good idea or a simple grunt.

Tominator Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Re: stoping deer.. Mouth grunt if necessary. Most times my goal is to be as silent as possible. IMHO, when you stop them with some sort of sound, it puts them on alert, and thus skiddish. I had a doe duck the string last fall when I stopped her. She was on alert already for some reason, and if I had to do it again, I'd have shot at her without grunting even though she was walking.

Guest kracey Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Re: stoping deer.. Never had to yet. They all just come and stand right where I want them to haha. (Knock On Wood). But I would probably ry a mouth grunt or whistle When I finally have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreeStandBowHunter Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Re: stoping deer.. Whatever you do, you need to make sure that you are ready for them so when you do get them to stop...BAM. I use a grunt or sometimes I make a weird noise or whistle. It usually get's their attention for a few seconds. I would say the grunt is your more natural and less spooking way to get them to stop.

RangerClay Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Re: stoping deer.. If they are just walking I will give them a mouth grunt. If running or chasing I will yell "Hey!" and they usually stop. Ranger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] sounds like a timing issue there Chris, maybe save the grunt until you're about to release, most times I do it at the same time. Improves accuracy too, takes you mind off the release.
