[QUOTE="Weda, post: 186281"] norsepeak.. I agree and disagree... yes you can call too much but at times you can call to little... easiest system to use by far is the Primos. while I don't advocate road hunting of sorts if it works for ya so be it. I typically implement what I call trolling. Sort of like you driving up and down roads. However, don't always bugle. Not all bulls will bugle back. many are silent especially the very wise or very young. You need to mix in a cow call, maybe even cow/calf at times. On horse back it is much easier to mimic the movement of Elk per natural. once you locate a bull. as you said you need to get down wind and keep moving. I feel however, you need to make him move as well. If he hears you coming in and recognizes that you are moving in on his cows he'll gather them a scoot. At some point you need to make sure he's up for the challenge even if he moves parallel to crosses you. He doesn't have to move closer but he does have to move. If he is in a sit a wait mode he's just looking for the right time to leave. Move often than not you can get any bull to move to you. I agree you don't always want to sound like the biggest and baddest but there are time you need to do this too. Typically, I will mimic a satellite bull sound. pretty bold but higher pitched to sound young. This often get the herd bulls attention. However, there could be and often are satellites hanging around the herd bull and a lot of time you'll end up putting the sneak on them and not the original bull you thought. I usually will cow call with the bugling, soft call mostly mewing. You could very well intrigue that herd bull to want another cow or 2 for his own and he's willing to come get her. There are also numerous tricks to get a bull that hung up on you once you've spotted him. If you can get his attention I have to tricks that without question will get him to move and often move to you. Peak rut is by far one of the neatest experiences of all. Ih ave talked to bulls as late as the first 2 weeks of nov. [/QUOTE]
