I no there is different types of grunts but i don't no which is which for sure. i have heard that a long grunt is a tending grunt then like the deeper the grunt the more mature the buck. is that right? what others is there? thanks

There are numerous variations of buck grunts and vocalizations.

The most well-known is the "Grunt" which is a buck's non aggressive way of getting attention. The effectiveness will depend on the buck-to-doe ratio of the area and the stage of the rut. The "Tending Grunt" is a series of shorter grunts that a buck will make while he is trailing a doe that is in estrus as he tries to her to stop so he can breed her. One of the 8 pts we shot this weekend came cruising by the stand grunting like this in search of a doe that must have passed by before sun up.

Grunt - "Brruurppp"

Tending Grunt - "Brurp, Brurp, Brurp, Brurp, Brurp, Brurp"

There are a few other variations, including the Clicking Grunt and a Grunt-Snort-Wheeze.

thanks. that was what i was wanting to no. if anyone else has anything feel free to post

They have videos that help with information on how to use the calls, when to make certain noises, and what time of year they work the best. Never watched them, but guess I should. Up to this point, I have tried to imitate the noises that I have heard.

thanks guys for the help. i went out this evening and tried calling and rattling. not sure if they just walked up or i called them in but i saw a spike and a four point that was close to the AR but passed on both of them. shot 5 hogs instead thanks guys

Great info Redsnake. Those iPhone apps look interesting for a beginning hunter. May help me start to recognize the calls and appropriate times to use since I'm starting at ground zero.
