However, as I was moving closer, I saw a cow that was out of my line of vision before that. She is definitely the reason he didn't come looking. He had seemed interested in my calling before I heard the barking sound. But after I heard it, he pretty much just stood in one spot for 45 minutes. Almost dead still, with the occasional look over his shoulder. This was my best opportunity at a bull that week. Too bad he was 20 yards across the fence on the next property, where I have no permission! He knew I couldn't shoot him!! Just stood broadside for an hour with his tongue out, blowing raspberries at me!!

You heard him roar a “ stay away this is my territory “ roar. That’s why he didn’t come over the fence. He thought you were infringeing on his domain. That happened to me couple years ago. It made hair stand up on back of my neck. Thought at first I had ****ed of a bear. Freaked me out. Lol. Supple calling woulda been better. Oh well. At 50 I guess I still get to learn stuff from these animals. Good luck all this what’s left of season.
