Odd sounding "grunt"

[BTLowry]

Had this young 8 come by last weekend, never heard this vocalization before.
Around 4 and 12 sec mark

“Clicking is rarely heard, but during rut I have heard some unusual buck sounds also. Strangest was a “roar” when 5 bucks were chasing one doe.

You hunting next to an airport?

Sounded like a regular raspy grunt. Could have been the more rare clicking. Clicking in mentioned in the bear grease podcasts. Can't remember which episodes.

I couldn’t hear it very well because of the river running behind you but it sounded like most grunts I’ve heard. I can’t hear very well though.

That background noise is the highway that is about 500yds south of me

Only good thing about it is it can cover some noise I might make

I will look up "clicking", just thought he had a weird grunt but maybe that is a new vocalization for me

Here ya go, BT...

I downloaded that episode after lunch and was going to listen to it in the stand but forgot my ear buds and a few other things

Probably listen to it on the way to work and back home tomorrow

I wonder if that’s a local adaptation to overcome the road noise? Maybe the clicks are a higher frequency sound that carries better in that area?

Interesting sound nonetheless.

If it is, it is a new thing. The other buck I saw that morning was grunting like any other one I have heard.
I don't think he was the dominant buck in this area either (podcast implied that)
