unt: Solo archery hunt. Tag: Any bull.
Date/Time: 10 September; 0830. Day 5 of your 7-day hunt.
Situation: Started at daylight, heading up and in to your secret squirrel spot at the head end of a small basin. You’ve let this bull call you in with his bugles/chuckles. You’ve only responded with a few whiny cow calls as you cover the distance. Thermals are still coming down nicely. When you’re about 80 yards away/below the bull, you see a hunter (you have no idea who he is or where he came from) in cover around 40 yards below the bull and at about your 2 o’clock. As you both lock eyes on each other, the visiting hunter gives you hand signal to call. It seems new guy is telling you to call so perhaps he can get a shot.
What should or do you do at this point?
-
I would try my best to call the bull in for the SOB :chuckle: and roll on with some good Karma on my side!
-
He's there first.
Do my best to call it in for him.
-
Try to move to the right and then call it in for him

I'm giving him the thumbs up and letting out a bugle to call the bull in for him. If the bull circles or comes to the call with no shot for him I'm shooting.
-
Same. Call, hope one of us gets an opportunity. If he kills, I'll take the karma.

Is the other hunter wearing either a “Muley Freak” or “Elk Shape” hat? Because either one of those might change my decision haha

I don't hunt 20 miles from trailhead, so likely won't run into those guys.
I would help him since he clearly asked for it.
-
Definitely help.
