[QUOTE="1Moose, post: 1348151, member: 74044"] Taken Sept of this year on public land in Colorado on the third night of the season. He bugled from a short distance on a wooded ridge near where I had set up for the evening. I cow called twice in response, then stayed still and quiet. Maybe 30 minutes later, this bull pushed his 8-9 cows (one calf) onto the opposite side of a meadow I was hunting which is surrounded by dense woods. Fortunately for me, after herding the cows to where he wanted them on the far side, he began moving across the clearing toward the middle and essentially whispered his bugle. First time I'd ever heard that--and clearly intended only for any cows in the immediate area. At ~116 yards, he had stopped moving in a direction that closed the distance. When he turned broadside to go back to his cows, I took my shot. Harvested with a .50 caliber muzzleloader with iron sights. Very happy I put in the practice with that rifle at the distance I needed.
