The only time I have heard a whitetail buck grunt was when he was chasing a doe.

RE: what is grunting actually?

Both bucks and doe grunt as a display of dominance and social behavior. I have heard both grunt at many different times of the year. Now, what does the grunt mean in certain situations and at different times of the year with deer around??....not really sure. Good topic though.
