Is it a Display bugle or a Bull calling to cows bugle

Postby Lonnie » 07 06, 2017 •  [Post 1]

So this post will probably get Paul to warm up his hands for some typing. I had a conversation with Paul the other night on bugling. I was taught when you use a bugle to call to cows it is a display bugle. As Paul was telling it is a Bull calling to cows bugle. Just wanted to know how many other guys think the same or different. And Paul please warm those fingers up and straighten us out. lol As always thanks to Paul for the knowledge.

We call sounds different names. Bulls bugling to cows are advertising or display calling or ... Bulls use different sounds to call cows.
If you want a nearby cow or cow, try a chuckle.

It's referred to in the APP as well as in the Playbook as Round Up Bugle. Yes it's a bull calling cows his way. He can round up his cows if he feels they are threatened in an urgent tone & vacate the area. A bull also uses this Round Up Bugle to call unseen or unfamiliar cows his way such as when a hunter is cow calling to this bull. In this situation this bull is not displaying or advertising, he is collecting or gathering for a purpose!
