Hi,


Up here in Oregon (central/east) and hunt in an area where I've seen 10 bulls to 8 or so cows.  Two herd bulls with 4 cows and a couple calves.  Many big 6x, 5x bulls roaming but will not come into the calls - cows or bugles.  It's like they're happy just sounding off locates.  Any idea best tactic to get these bulls to come in to calls?

Make sure you are creating a reason for them to come to your calls. Just randomly throwing calls out there isn't going to do much. Corey's preferred sequence is a great starting point. Get in close (inside 200 yards or more) and throw out some cow calls. If the bull responds, cut him off with a bugle of your own. By doing that, you are challenging him to come to you. Continue to cut him off if he keeps bugling.
