Can Whitetail Deer Whistle??

by Karl Triple
(Ilion, New York)

While hunting in the Adirondacks this weekend I had a very strange thing happen. I tracked a large buck for over a mile when I came upon an area of thick cover. I thought the deer was close and the cover was so thick that I decided to try to coax the deer out. I did a few grunts and rattles but to my suprise I got not one but several whistle back. Now mind you I am 3 miles from the nearest road. At first I thought I had stumbled into another hunter. After a half hour wait I went in to the cover to investigate. To my supprise the only tracks there were from the deer I had been tracking. I have heard some old timers talk about deer whistling. Has anyone out there heard of this or actually heard a deer whistle.

Yes, I have heard white tailed deer Bucks whistle on several occasions. This has always occurred when the Buck appeared nervous. He either could see me but not smell me or could smell me but not see me. The whistle is quite loud and lasts for only 1 to 2 seconds. In all cases the deer turned and ran away.
