I would recommend getting a Mac-Daddy or similar call and practice making cow/calf sounds. When you are in the woods still hunting find a good spot to shoot from where you are concealed with some good shooting lanes and SOFTLY call a few times, be very careful if you decide to change location, they will often walk in on you silently. Usually you will hear them coming though. It sounds exactly like a 600+LB animal breaking branches.After calling a couple times wait at least 5 min. and try again.  It works during late season here in Washington.  :archer:  (sometimes) If you get no response after about half an hour start still hunting again and just call every once in a while. If you jump a herd IMMEDIATELY blow on call, sometimes they will stop and settle down. Practice this throughout the day and you should get a shot.  :archer:  Good Luck, and congratulations!! We want pictures!!
