A few weeks ago, I used a dry water cannel to sneak into the area I wanted to call. In the field across the road was some cattle feeding on corn stalks. They were down wind, never saw me but definitely could smell me. They made quite a racket mooing while I was working my way by them.
After a mile walk in the cannel, I started calling, and made 5 or 6 stands. I thought it would be productive, as there was a lot of sign, and I had heard them at daybreak. I finally called a young female, on the 5th stand, and was able to put her down.
Did the cows bust me as I was sneaking in? I have the feeling they did, and I learned another lesson the hard way.
