Bulls bugle all year round to some extent. But they only get aggressive when they have cows in estrus. If a hot cow doesn't get bred she will cycle again about 20 later. A cow can have as many as 4 cycles. Bulls bugle for lots of reasons. They bugle to advertise themselves, to round up their harem, to call a cow to them so they can sent check as well as challenge other bulls to back off. You can successfully bugle bulls well into October if you understand what they are saying when they bugle. Think of it in this way. They only "word" they say is hey, but hey can be used as a casual hi ( low volume and not agressive) or it can be HEY ( high volume scream as your yelling at a fellow who just ran off with your wife's purse. Super aggressive) hey can be either and many in between but it's tone, volume and aggressivemess that dictate what your actually saying. It's much the dance with a bugle. Learning to assess the temperature of a bull will lead you into the best method to call in and kill that bull. Hope this makes sense
