    Well if they don't show it on TV I would never know. Wonder if this is a preamble to a new Doe grunt tube ?

    Fix you have not seen and heard a doe grunt? I have seen a doe grunt right before she gave a whack to another doe's fawn.

    Let me tell you they growl too!
    I was sitting on a stump in the woods one day. Summer not hunting. Well along came this doe strolling by and noticed me at 15 yrds. She did all the usual fake feeding head bobbing then a foot stomp. Well decided not to snort but stomp as she did.
    Holy cow! I could instantly see the change in her face and she let out a low growl head down just before she bluff charged me. WTH I was just landing on me knees behind the stump as she stopped a few yards away. The fur on her back was standing from base of skull to her tail. I swore at her and yelled Ok! Ok! I thought she was rabid. No just in a real bad mood..lol she turned and walked away ,stopping several times to make sure I hadn't moved.

    Yeah. First time you hear a deer rip one it surprises you. Don't know why but it does. I've heard them burp, fart, sneeze, cough....etc.

    They have a pretty good range of vocalizations.
