At 0930 he is in his bedroom for the day or close to it.  In my limited experience I have yet to call a bull from his bedroom any amount of distance.  Coach nailed it, get close and get on his level. 
It is foolish and wrong to mourn these men.  Rather, we should thank god that such men lived.  -General George S. Patton

Get close as fast as possible. If he doesn't respond to the cow calls once close (giving him time to respond), I'm moving closer until I shoot or bump him.  If he has cows with him, I would get as close as possible and I might use a "calling cows to him bugle" as I think Elk Nut calls it:  a bugle with chuckles.  I would not use any bugle if I thought he was alone.
