There's a reason they call it hunting. Last year I took a nice 6x6 bull on the morning of the third day of the hunt. This year I drew a cow hunt along with my buddy. I figured we would tag at least one and hopefully two, after all there are more cows than bulls. Well after 11 days of hunting hard, we came home empty handed.
I was able to call a cow off of a really ticked off bull to within 8 yards of my buddy. But he was betrayed by the tree behind him and could not draw his bow properly. That morning we had 3 bulls screaming and picked on this one to see if he would come in and bring his cows with him. I don't think I called the cow off him as much as he sent her over to check out that cow on the other side of the canyon.
Outside of this we had numerous encounters with bugling bulls, but the stalks one way or another would not work out or we'd get busted by satellite bulls or by the cows. But every night we were serenaded to sleep by the continued bugling.
