Be aware they can hear cow calls from well over a mile away, and if you know where the cows are, and have the wind to work to get between them, they will make ther way to you, sometimes they trot, sometimes they grunt a little fast grunt all the way in, often a little guy, sometimes they come in an just crack an antler against a tree, then wait to see what happens, that is usually a bigger guy. You need to make cow in distress calls, and the occasional bull grunt. Listen to them on some videos, cows may look for and harass their bull that isn't responding properly to them when they are actually in heat, if there are a few cows together. Young ones can come straight in to as close as 10ft, or hang up at 100 yds, big guys most often hang up. Need a bit of noise in an area they can't see into to get them moving again, soft cow calls can help, feeding noises can help. If a big guy knows the cows are there behind you, sometimes a soft series of grunts after a distress call, will bring him in like a freight train.
