[QUOTE="dean nelson, post: 107728, member: 1305"] Having lived out there some and hunted it quite a bit much of the most aggressive calling bulls I've been around were a couple weeks into muzzle season. These were not back country bulls by any stretch. ...hell tangled with a herd bull for a couple hours one morning then walked back to the truck and was at KFC within ten mins! This was always on public ground as well. The only advantage i had was a summer of scouting but that mattered little by then due to three feet of snow up at tree line so the elk were hanging around 10,000 feet. I would generally drive somewhat slowly down one of the roads a couple hours before sunrise and stop every half mile to mile. I would kill the truck and wait a few minutes then rip off a couple weak bugles and listen for a response. Just have to be careful with the bugle so you don't push them. Once you find them if at all possible go quite or just cow calls. A heard bull will try an avoid a fight if he can so if your bugling your head off your likely going to run them off. Where are you headed for? You should be smack dab in the hart of the rut so they should be going but they can get shy especially of calls. Try to learn calls that they are less likely to hear a ton of. What i mean by this is listen to what a hoochie mama sounds like and try and make your call sound a little different because everyone has one them. the same goes with the bugle but those are all a bit different person to person anyway. I also would recommend a decoy as well if you don't already have one because they have saved my ass a couple times. [/QUOTE]
