A Roar generally sounds like the name implies—a somewhat deep, "throaty" Roar. Roars are generally medium to low-pitched. They typically have a
raspy/"gravely" tonal quality and are drawn out so that they last one to two seconds in length. Roars are delivered with a moderate to substantial
force...

Whines are generally higher-pitched, drawn-out vocalizations that last one or more seconds in length. They can range from a single, monotone note, to
more of a "wavy" sounding vocalization. Whines often end with "breathy" sounds as the bull cuts off the vocalization. Often these are used to expre...

Huffs are breathy sounds that sound exactly as the name implies—a "huff." Bulls "Huff" by accentuating the sound of air passing over their vocal chords and
through their windpipe as they breathe. Huffs can be delivered individually, or in strings, and can range in volume from very quiet and almos...

Glunks are guttural "popping" noises made by bulls that sound somewhat similar to their name—glunk. Sometimes heard as a single "note" (glunk) and
sometimes as a double "note" (ga lunk), glunks can be delivered individually or in strings, and can range in volume from very quiet and almost inaudib...

What You'll See:
In this sequence, you'll see a herd bull trying to maintain a harem of cows while scent-checking and "courting" a cow that is likely close to coming into peak estrous. You'll also see, and hear, several other bulls in the immediate area chasing cows, trying to steal the primary ...

What You'll See:
In this sequence, you'll see two equally matched bulls desperately trying to keep "their" cows away from one another while at the same time trying to attract other cows to "their" side of the small ridge that separates them.

Setting the Stage:
Just before we set up the camera, a...

What You'll See:
In this sequence, you'll see a relaxed harem and herd bull moving up out of their bedding area and slowly filtering through the timber as they head to their evening feeding area. This sequence offers a great example of the primary principle covered in the "See You First" Behavior...

What You'll See:
In this sequence, you'll see a relaxed harem and herd bull, with the cows leisurely feeding, and the bull displaying "horning" behavior (as he creates a scrape, or dry wallow), bugling, and brief courtship behavior.

Setting the Stage:
Immediately preceding this sequence, the her...

What You'll See:
This video provides another great example of how mature bulls interact with their cows, and how patient they are in letting the cows do what they want to do, without pestering them. In addition to his bugling, the bull in this sequence provides several great examples of Glunkin...

What You'll See:
In this sequence you'll see a large herd bull with a large group of cows and calves along with a number of younger "satellite" bulls, and a cow that's clearly starting to come into estrous. This sequence has a variety of both cow and bull vocalizations, as well as another great ...

What You'll See:
In this sequence, you'll see a dominant herd bull still "in charge" of a large group of cows, but acting much more tolerant of satellite bulls than he likely was in the weeks prior. You'll see the herd bull scent-checking the cows looking for any last remaining cows coming into ...

What You'll See:
In this sequence, you'll see rarely seen classic courtship behavior between a cow and a mature bull as the cow comes into peak estrous and stands for the bull to breed.

Setting the Stage:
This video was filmed in early September. Before this sequence, the herd bull was working ...

What You'll See:
In this sequence, you'll see a number of clips from some of our winter range observations of bulls that we've done over the past three years. Throughout the video, Chris provides commentary on what Roe Hunting Resources looks for during their mid-winter observations, and discuss...
