Teach him from the beginning to come in the pen.

if you can get some others to linger in the pen, he might be tempted. If you had more time, I'd recommend the pen being the only location of feed and hay.

I dropped a 2yo bull off at OKC Stockyards Sunday afternoon. He was just a little too friendly to the point that he was a dangerous nuisance.
What @SBMF 2015 said. I've used cows in heat to lure bulls over half a mile, through the woods and into the barnyard. Shut the gate, sort out the cows, one 'n done. Good luck!

Well, fed only in the pen yesterday, he didn't come close. Everyone ate but him last night. We fed treats, again no luck. Tried again this morning. 2 hours without him around. Saw him a few times but no burger. May be a home kill...

Trailer with a cut gate with a cow in heat in the front compartment. Bull will load himself.
How big is the enclosure the pen is in? Like a lot, or a pasture, etc? Are there trees, buildings or other obstacles in it?
Evaluate every thing you are doing right now that is different from the other days. Did you move a trailer... did you change their system... any thing? They pick up on cues that say some thing is different this time.

It's a 5 a.c +/-. pasture, has a few trees. Fed them bales here for the last month. In the corner is the 20×30 pen with a 3x8 chute that my trailer is backed upto. Fed them in the corral for 2 days, no real issues. Just the bull I wanted that day was in the back by the creek. Guess he wasn't hungry that morning? Tried to push him towards the corral and he kept going the other way, no matter which way I pushed. He had a 6th sense..... He is a lot faster than me and more agile than a 4wheeler. Not really worth my death. Have put him down and grind him.
OK. I just looked up where Camden was in Tennessee. I was going to ask if you'd want us to come catch him and load him, but that would be cost prohibitive to get us to come that far. I could reccomend someone closer in west Tenn,. but you have already shot him and carried him to the processor, right?

No, not a processer around to do a farm kill or take a wounded animal. I'll grind him when I get a chance. He came in to eat every day.
That day was his....

This is why I always have at least one pasture where they don't have access to water unless they go into a catch pen.
