How important is calling in the early season? Are the bulls with the herds from the beginning?
In my experience if you don't call in early season any sightings will be by chance. My hunting area is thick timber so glassing is not an option. If you want to make something happening locate through calling. In areas where glassing is doable you should be able to spend time behind some glass to locate them then attempt to close in. Sitting a blind over wallows or water can also be effective and produce results however it's a waiting game at that point.
