What call do I make once I hear a bull scrape branches
by Luke
(Timmins, ontario)
I'm in my stand, making cow calls, attempting to bring in this timid bull. At one point, the bull makes scraping noises on a branch with his antlers and snapped a big branch.
Right away, I returned a response by scrapping a branch and making low soft bull calls.
This cause the hunt to end. The bull went quiet and I couldn't get it back to me.
What is the right response when a bull demonstrates his dominance like that?
Luke, it sounds to me that you did everything right. One other thing that may have helped would be to do some cow calls. A timid bull may be just that, afraid to get beat up by the big resident bull. But, if he thought there was a cow in estrus, that could have been a game changer.
Good luck and keep us posted.

morning Mark, I want to thank you again for your outstanding service. As luck

Cool website, nice to see others that consider the moose as a majestic creature. We are going to park the quads this year and use the boat, get away from the others. Will let you know if it is a successful hunt.
