I have heard all deer communication noises, most are very subtle.
OP all the years you have hunted you have never been blown at by a deer...the wheeeeew? That is a danger communication, deer do that at predators as well. |

Many times I heard bucks grunting on still mornings. I've killed several because I've heard them grunting and started watching that direction.

Why are they barking ? An 'alarm' or 'danger' signal........ At dusk one evening I was coming out of a field from hunting and my son was coming out on the other side of the same field.We were 300 yards apart and I heard a 'bark' from behind me.I thought it was a dog.I turned to find the source and several does had come out of the brush along the creek and they were all looking directly at my son.One of the does stood on her back legs and barked!I had never seen or heard that before. When I met up with my son at the truck he said "Dad,did you hear that dog barking"? |

In Virginia it's usually the sound of them bouncing off of a fender or bumper just before they hit the deck.
I have heard them do the 'chufff' noise..sort of a strong exhale I guess? |

I have only recently heard deer grunts, doe & fawn bleats, and a sort of bawl-like sound from a momma doe when she lost track of her fawn when coming up out of a draw.
The momma's bawl had two syllables... kinda. Started lower and ended high. Like some folks end the last word of their question on a higher note. The buck grunt was when he was running a doe and they were both in and out of my world inside of 5 seconds. Right from the start, I've heard plenty of them blowing at me when they wind me however.

I have heard pretty much all of the normal deer grunts and bleats. One day I heard a noise like someone grinding their teeth and it was a buck doing since then I have heard it a lot more in different deer. I hear a snort wheeze just about everyday when the deer are in hard horn. Summertime I hear does grunting for their fawns and fawns calling for their mom. I have had success calling in deer with different calls, rattling, and using scents.

Many times. Snort/blow usually means you're busted by a damn wary doe! Watch the wind better. Grunts while a buck is chasing a doe & just a couple of times a fawn bleat.
Have called in some by rattling quite a few times & fewer times a buck has come in after a couple of grunts from the grunt call. Rattling usually brought them in quicker and running. The grunt took more time usually and they were sneaking. Probably more have come in downwind that were never seen or heard, IMO. Use calls in moderation. They have a use, but probably less often than most think. Watching the wind is more important with or without calls. |

They either freeze when you squeal or hit overdrive, but if they freeze you have a second or two to make the shot. |

Of course I have heard does blow when alarmed. I have heard bucks grunt, once I was drawing back on a doe and heard a buck grunt behind me. I turned around and saw this 6 point standing 15 yards behind me. I was thinking, thanks for grunting. I drew back and shot and missed. Not sure how I missed. Many times I have heard deer walking. I killed my buck this year after missing an opportunity. There was tall grass and the first buck came out of nowhere on a trail in the grass I didn't have time to get ready and get a proper shot. As I was thinking in my head "too bad I didn't hear him coming..." another came up the same trail, crunch, crunch. Killed him.
Once I was hunting at the edge of a steep ravine down a ridge about 100 yds from another stand. My buddy was supposed to be up by the stand, but we drank a lot the night before and he didn't make it out. I saw a nice big buck standing right near his stand. I grunted at it, and right away three young bucks came to me on a rope, two forks and a spike, one after another and walked right by me looking around. Big boy didn't move. The third one stopped about 40 yards away and was watching right towards me. I tried to draw on number 2, but he spooked and then # 3 ran away as well. I would've tried to shoot # 3 if he didn't hold up. Last year I grunted at a buck after he crossed to my side of the creek on my left. He ignored it and walked all the way to the end of the field straight away from me. When he got to the end of the field I turned over a can call once. He went into the woods on the right. 10 minutes later he popped out of the cover just downwind of me. He headed my way, but spooked before he got to a shooting lane. He must've followed the ridge on the right to circle downwind of where he heard the can call. |

Most amazing deer sound I ever heard was a tending grunt made by a buck trailing a doe nose right up to her ass.
Every time one of his front hooves hit the ground he let out a short "braap". It was brap, brap, brap, brap, brap, brap, brap, brap BOOM, flop.......

I've heard these as well as a buck pawing at the ground nervously. I could see him move briefly through the brush to be aware of him. We both knew the other was there but neither of us exposed ourselves. It was a draw. My hearing lacks a lot to be desired though. At times a marching band could perform behind me and I wouldn't know. I hunted a real wet place years ago which was a lot of fun. The water was deep enough that you could hear them walking for some distance. Was kinda unfair.

I hear deer all the time. Most of the noises they make are low volume and short so you have to be fairly close to hear it usually. Yeah, rutting bucks make loud grunts and who hasn't heard a deer blow when jumped or get your wind. Does "talk" to their fawns a lot and I've found fawns are generally pretty vocal.
As far as deer responding to your calls, it depends on the deer. If every body calls fewer deer will respond because they've heard it before and spotted your buddy leaning against a tree with a grunt call in one hand and a cigarette in the other. Generally, some deer respond some don't. Kind of like if you yell "Hey" at somebody, some will look at you and walk away quietly and some deer will come at you with a "you talkin' to me!" look on their face. |

Heard them "bleat" like a sheep. My dad said that was a nervous younger deer that smelled me and wasn't sure what was going on. I didn't have a clue, never heard it before.
Heard them "blow", like they're trying to clear out their nose so they can smell you better. |
