Had a couple tonight that were sparring.(my nephew heard them) and I called one to me but I didn't know it becuz I heard a noise a muffled attempt at a cough or something. Heard twigs and stuff breaking but never got a look at what was causing the noise.
Then when I got back to the truck my neph told me what he saw and that the bulls were trying to bugle but sounded hoarse.
But the rut is early this year. I didn't expect it to get interesting until the last week of the season.
