Yep, there has been a bunch of cows and calves, probably about 30-40 in our alfalfa regrowth. A bachelor herd of ten or so also have popped up. No bugling from the bulls yet though.

I was setting up trail cams last week and came close to a bull, the undeniable scent of bull in rut was permeating through the air. I'm sure it's not long now.

Good place to practice your bugling.
