OHhh FUN TIMES .. Last Night, no moon and nice and quiet .. ( the plan ), I go into a small fenced coral area behind a barn to set-up and search and make few calls for some coyotes behind a BigAss manure pile .
There is also 6 young Bulls in the back of barn in fenced coral area waiting to get about 18 months old to go into auction sale .
I walk into backside of barn, threw gate into coral area wearing gear and NV/helmet . Even though I'm a stranger just turned up and kicked them up from sleep , they all just all up eyeballing me pretty heavy and they young and not really looking to start something they not totally sure about . I just keeping my focus and just ignoring them and go about my business .
So I walk down and behind a 10 ft. manure pile (nice dry area), Young bulls eyeballing me and all following stepping a little closer one by one . They pretty jittery and the all black Angus starts doing this rodeo bucking and shaking his head act, but he putting a Vibe more like he wants to play than be aggressive . But they all still holding off about 20 ft. off and eyeballing me, so I keep on my set-up .
It starts looking like a big clusterfuck, I got to make light verbal with them and they making Noise also and I thinking about packing it up, but I hear a solo young coyote off and doing a few barks a few hundred yards off a side field . So I setup Rifle on tripod and set my pack down by electric fence and start scanning with Thermal .
I standing there scanning and before I know it, I am in a tight scrimmage huddle and surrounded, nudged and sniffed . Bulls not really being malicious but I grabbing my tripod and holding it up and trying not to get pushed into electric fence . It all getting a little to cozy, I got to make a few verbal commands at them and some light pushing to hold my ground . They all start setting down but they wont leave . They all just stay circled tight around behind me . Even If I scanned a coyote there No Way I could make a shot and not take risk of them freaking and knocking me down and stepping on me . It all ends up like I'm just the bovine entertainment for the night.
