I've heard it from two different bucks in the last 4 years. Killed one of them when he finally showed himself as a doe drew him from his hiding spot in a thicket. The second time was earlier this year. What appeared to be a good buck was following a doe but always stayed 20-30 yds from her and farther from my stand. She seemed to catch a whiff of my scent about 50-60 yds from my stand. She stood stock still for what seemed like 30 minutes. The buck stayed obscured by brush and must've grunt/snort/wheezed 15-20 times. She finally turned around and eased away and he followed, staying in cover the whole time. I never got a good view of him.
