How many of you have put away the tube/call because every time you try, the bulls just don\'t respond?
There\'s two basic strategies that I use.
1) Give the bull what he wants and then if that doesn\'t work,
2) Give the bull what he doesn\'t want.
During rut, a bulls instinct is to breed every hot cow because he wants the monarch. And when I can\'t use that against him, I give him what he doesn\'t want. Another bull challenging his dominant right or another bull trying to hook one of \"his\" cows.
So who has experienced a bull that is in defense mode only? Sometimes I can cow call and not hear response. Then I follow up with a bugle and get a very aggressive answer. So I guess at times, starting with #2 can be a good thing.
For me, over thinking callings situations can lead to confusion. So I keep it very simple. What he wants or doesn\'t want.
Tell me your thoughts?
