I watched a herd of 50 in 368 Cowiche unit last friday. I saw a small bull breeding a cow and a larger bull chase him off. T hen another bull hit it. The big one then chased him off too. Lots of bugling at twilight in the morning.

I was in 368 with a buddy with a bull tag and they were dead silent where we were. Only heard 2 bulls on opening night. Nothing both opening morning and Sunday morning.

I saw 5 bulls this morning all together.  The smaller bulls were mock fighting but not getting into it.  There were a few cows. 

I have seen 25 cows and calves with one big bull screaming his head off. 

So I think this year is kind of different...

THE BULLS AROUND MY PLACE ALL PRETTY MUCH HAVE A FEW COWS, THE BIGGER BULLS WILL ULTIMATELY END UP WITH THEM THE NEXT 2 WEEKS. THOSE HEARD BULLS WILL STILL BE ACTIVE BUT WONT COME INTO YOUR CALL, THEY WILL PUSH THE COWS AWAY FROM YOU BUT THAT DONT MEAN YOU CANT GET A NICE SATELITE BULL COMING IN TO YOU TRYING TO CUT A LOOSE COW OUT
