If the bulls come to it thats all that matters - they are a better judge than I. do the cows seem to respond as well? I use a primo cow call - I don' t have a bugle - but i am debating getting one for this year since we will be in CO closer to the rut (besides according to the posts here the rut is late). Even in WY last year I was hearing a bull bugle down a ridge from me in the evening well after the rut seemed to be over. My buddy saw him once just at dusk but did not get a clear shot and once at about 40 yds in black timber - almost ran into each other at midday - couldn' t get the rifle off his shoulder fast enough I guess. good luck to you and don' t work the thumbs too hard with the hootchie mama - you may need that thumb to grasp a knife and skin one.
