Allright, you are the caller and during a cold call set up, you've gotten this pretty little bull to come in silent. You're at the yellow arrow, directly where the bull is looking about 40 yards. Your buddy is set up in the direction of the red arrow no more than 20 yards away, and at this moment in time, is drawn back but has no clear/clean shot.
Tale of the tape: You and your buddy set up in a very heavily used elk area and had the presence of mind to properly "set up" with good positioning to possibly give the shooter a chance if a bull came in to your calling. A very light breeze is flowing from you (yellow arrow) directly at the bull. During your cold call set, about 10 minutes earlier, you started with some cow/calf herd talk and mixed in some brush raking and a few screams. This bull came in on a string, silently, directly downwind from you... past your buddy at a slow trot, put on the brakes, and spun back around and "stopped" on the other side of that gray log and the scub tree covering his vitals. Your cover/concealment is good but still... bullwinkle is more than a bit nervous about what he heard but doesn't see.
What do you think some options are at this moment in time to possibly get your buddy/shooter a chance at bringing this bull home for dinner?
