your best bet would be calling them in unless you find a regularly used water/wallow hole. Then setting up in a ground blind or tree stand may be a good bet. Stalking bedded animals would be a possibility, But would be the most challenging. If you get lucky and have some early season snow, stalking becomes a better possiblity, BUT if the ground is dry and crunchy, the chances of being successful are slim.

Bulls will start coming in and should have a good hunt, most areas have had good rain but still you got to find them, have started seeing some still around 10,000 ft or better.

Defiantly calling, keep move and bugling until you locate and then set-up and call him in. Good Luck![/align]
