Unusual Doe behavior? Snort Wheeze

I have heard plenty of bucks snort wheeze through the years but yesterday I heard several does doing it as they were fighting over a preferred staging area. I have never heard a doe snort wheeze but I did yesterday at least three times. They were fighting like crazy over who had a certain section of a staging area. There were 3=4 doe family groups fighting for dominance.

Has anyone else ever heard does snort wheeze like this?

Nope! Only heard bucks do a snort wheeze.

Interesting observation. Did it sound at all different from a buck's snort wheeze? How did they posture when they were doing it - ears back tail out like a buck? Curious!

Wonder how easy it would be to replicate with a call and how effective it would be on an old matriarchal doe.

That's what I thought so I put the glasses on them - absolutely was two does making the snort wheeze. I am sure that they were does I just never heard a doe do that before. Like I said for some reason these two girls were really flailing at one another. I am not talking little spit spat these girls were knocking the crap out of each other.

Joe - the sound was actually very similar to a buck only not nearly as loud or as long. I will have to review my tacticam to see if I was able to pick up the sound. I got a few of them on film but it was pretty long distance. I would have given anything to have had a camcorder with me. All the more reason to get off the fence and get one for hunting.

It was pretty cool watching these does go at it like this.

BTW - are bucks typically carry their horns even into Feb - breading is still going on - we have a much longer rut cycle down south.

If anyone has a link to a video or recording of a snort wheeze vs a grunt, I would appreciate it. I know I have heard grunting and blowing but not sure about the snort wheeze.

On a more serious note I have never heard a doe snort wheeze. It is actually has been pretty rare to hear a buck snort wheeze where I have hunted.

I don't think I have heard a doe snort wheeze before, but I don't see wht they wouldn't. Especially a couple of old alpha does.
