Breeding sequence ?

[Slow1]

I have heard the "breeding sequence" mentioned on here sometime I was wondering what it is?


Thanks Slow1

Slow1: I think you are referring to the different times cows come into estrus. A few mature cows, In excellent condition. come into heat in very late August and early September. Most of the cows come into estrus in late September on into early October. That is the time when most cows are bred. If a cow is missed or they don't conceive they will come into estrus for a couple cycles up into as late as December. The only way I know about the late breeding periods is from what I have read and from seeing spotted calves in September. It is a very unhealthy situation for the calves born late, as they are not likely to survive any severe winter situation.
For all practical hunting purposes I would ignore the November/December estrus period.

Thomas, are you referring to the Breeding Sequence hunting tactic?

Well, it normally starts with me doing the dishes, sweeping the floors, and possibly cooking dinner....

Sorry, I had to.

Elknut explained it in a thread a while back, but it was sort of buried and hard to find. It would be good to have it again and be more searchable....maybe even in the archive?

I think this is the thread rock chucker is referring to. lots of good info and different takes on it.

I was referring to the calling tactic Elknut spoke of it in the archived tip section under one of the “what would you do “ threads of course I can’t find the right one now. Sounded like he uses it often and works good. Anything new in the "Tool box" help.

I found the post I was reading about it in. This is the breeding sequence that I'm refering to:

John, thanks. Because he was a satellite 150yds-200yds is a better distance to pull him in with a "breeding sequence" -- Let the bull do all the moving in this situation if you're going to setup as you did. The other would be what WW mentioned, Call & Stalk! Caller keeps bull vocal as silent shooter slips in undetected. Choose the one that fits best in your specific situation!

Many may notice I recommend the breeding sequence on a regular basis, why, because it flat kicks butt during any phase of the rut, again, it is most likely to pull in satellites, spikes & cows first so we use specific spots for it & it's a persistent method that can have a caller busy for 30 straight minutes, bugling/chuckling is as important as the cow sounds used. My son (BowElkDwn) is a master with this technique! We do not use this sequence directly on Herd Bulls, odds are low in killing them with it!

There are many ways to call bulls, it's that some will give you better odds, this breeding sequence has been 90% effective!

No one? Did I accidently stumble onto a top secret calling technique?
