A few years back I was down in a ravine and heard a bugle come from above, I know there is a road up there so I mewed back and heard the hunter running thru the woods above. he steped out on a rock over the ravine and fired off another bugle.
I just walked away laughing and guy was still up there calling to the cow he heard
And it was one of the infamous Nile Road hunters

I've heard some really good hunters that people would swear they're bulls. I've also heard some really bad bulls that you'd swear they're people. This season a dude stopped in his dirtymax stop and let out a 30 second bugle.. All one note, needless to say the bull we were goin to work didn't answer and I later had 3 bulls goin all in ear shot of where that idiot bugled... I wanted to mess with him but I knew elk were there so I didn't want him ruining our hunt.

done it more times than I can count, but the one that stands out was in Idaho about 11 years ago. I'd backpacked back into a great drainage that I knew held bulls. Just as I was getting my camp setup, I hear the jingle of a bell headed up the pack trail to the top of the ridge. The next morning, I hear a bull down in the canyon, so off I go to put it on this bull. I get down in the canyon and start working the bull and low and behold, I hear the bell coming back down the pack trail. My wind swirled and bugered the bull out, so I thought, what the heck, I'll see if this outfitter really knows what he is doing. So I start doing my best herb bull impression and sure enough, the outfitter and his city slicker client fall for it hook, line and sinker. The look on the client's face when I came walking out into the clearing he was sitting on was priceless.

Years ago, buddy and I hiked into a hole to hunt, only to hear another lousy bugling hunter. Same guy was there that night, so we worked him.
He turned out to be a 5X6. Didn't get home til after midnight that night

Hunting some Weyrhauser land down neer Coos Bay, OR, I was working my way up a road system calling and listening when I heard a hunter (pretty obvious) bugle back from about 1500 feet below me. So I called back and worked him all the way up. When he got where I could see him I stood up and said Hi and got in my truck and continued on. I felt a little bad about that, but his call was exactly the same EVERY time....

Roughly 4 years ago a buddy and I were hunting in the high country and we were being followed by a "hunter" that ended up being a bull. We went over a mile before we got fed up and decided we were gonna point out to this "hunter" that the cows he was following were hunters. Boy did we feel stupid!

I get so eager to kill an elk that anything sounding like elk deserves my attention. Its not working. Maybe Ill try a different tactic next year. The most fun is when you are ARCHERY ELK hunting and you call in a bull that is packing a rifle. WHY THE HELL is a bear hunter running around bugling in my honey hole?
