DREAMINBOUTELK The glunking sound you're referring to is different than popping grunts. This glunking sound is made by bulls during the rut, it's made when a bull is mating with a cow, normally toward the end of sept. and the beginning of oct. and can occur again at the end of oct. Knowledgeable bowhunters will take advantage of this time of the rut and imitate glunking to pull the herd bull away from his harem because he thinks a sattelite bull slipped in covering one of his cows. If you've convinced the herd bull this is whats happening he will come in fast and furious. On the other hand popping grunts are made by bulls who have been surprised by noise you have made while walking in the woods or they caught a glimpse of movement and are not sure what you are, they will immediatley give a high pitched short grunt which demands identification a quick cow call will usually calm him down, and a good chance of calling him in.
