Had a ton of call ins and encounters this archery season, just never the right shot opportunity on a bull. So close so many times, a little frustrating but what a blast. Sunday came with an early encounter on a bull that didn’t work out, several hours later we were on another one. Same result, no shot opportunity, we ended up splitting the herd up incidentally and hunkered down on the bench they were on cow calling softly. One of the lost cows came back in and I decided it was time to put some meat in the freezer. My bull streak is over but very happy to tag a cow.

@Rugergunsite308 You got him on that STEEP south slope huh? I hunted that tag for cows a couple years ago. Super cool spot, but man that's a tough hike!
