Bored me. Takes real talent to shoot over the big tire waterhole on the ranch.

Did you even watch the video?  The elk was called in...not shot over a water hole!

There was a big tire with water in it

Did you even watch the video?  The elk was called in...not shot over a water hole!   

And there was calling involved

:yeah: Bulls I have called in the closest I have not closed the deal on. Not sure due to choking- usually it involves brush.

Freaks me out to imagine hunting elk in country free of underbrush like that. Something I've yet to experience.

me and trophy hunt were up ina spot he likes, he was calling elk in all over the place, it wasnt elk season for us, but he bugled in a bull right into the same bush we were hiding in, it was awesome, you could see right up his nostrils, what a rush it was, it was probably one of the coolest scouting trips i have ever been on  :tup:
