We continued to occasionally call and move in the bulls direction. The bull answered our cow calls, but continued to head towards the meadow below. Terry and I chose to pursue the most aggressive sounding bull, hoping he would be the dominant bull in the area. We could hear several bulls bugling in the distance around us.
