An interesting situation. What would you do in this circumstance?

I would've s**t my pants

[pianoman9701]

Not a whole lot you can do. He never presented an acceptable bow shot and walked right into him. Had the guy moved, he might have been gored or tossed. I called a bull into my buddy last fall and it was about the same set of circumstances. He couldn't do a thing.

[Igottanewknee]

Crap my pants!!!!

[grandpawrichard]

[KFhunter]

don't sit in the middle of the opening?

[Eli346]

 I would have given him a breath mint. That's an awesome encounter!

[turkeyfeather]

We be a neat encounter and story to tell later, but not at the time.

[oneshot12]

would have been interesting to say the least ,cant say i would have  moved much well may be on the  inside know my heart would have been going a mile a minuet  WOW nice stuff

[bearpaw]

About the only thing I can see is if the guy would have heard the bull coming he could have come to draw and released the arrow when the bull came into view.

I wanna know what scent killer he was using

   I've seen this video before and everybody always says "no bow shot" "nothing he could have done differently..." I'm more curious about the circumstances leading up to that because I would have been at full draw as soon as that bull was within 50 yards unless we was staring at the hunter the whole time.

Crazy how this bull couldn't make the hunter out at 3' when I had a bull make me out at 32 yards this past fall with cover and wind to my advantage

had my bow drawn and aiming at him before he got to that point, I would assume he could here him coming since there's snow on the ground

[brokenvet]

Wow,  I am surprised that his heart is still in his chest. 

[LndShrk]

I agree I want to know what scent blocker he was using. 

[RadSav]

had my bow drawn and aiming at him before he got to that point, I would assume he could here him coming since there's snow on the ground

Had to know he was coming,  But with the way he had to point his arrow to the sky to draw I expect too much poundage to draw and hold.  He might not be able to brag about killing that bull, but I bet everyone is impressed with how fast and powerful his bow is

don't sit in the middle of the opening?

I guess he was lined up for two shooting lanes.  But yeah, same thought that crossed my mind.



I had a guy catch me as I came out of the woods in the dark one year in the Strawberry Wilderness.  He wants my advise on how to kill a bear he had seen three times walking the same trail.  The next morning we get out way before light so he can show me the spot.  I find a good ambush and say, "If it were me I'd sit on the trail right here.  If you shoot him and need help sit on top of this bald knob at noon and I'll glass to see if you are there"  Noon comes and he's waving from the knob!

By buddy Bone and I meet up with him and he tells us he shot the bear but can't find any blood.  I ask the how far, what angle, how did he react questions.  He says, "Well I was sitting on the trail where you said and he's walking right at me.  At three to five yards I figure he is going to walk right over me so I shot him head on."  Bone and I start laughing and the guy asks, "What is so funny?"  I say, "When I told you to sit on the trail I didn't mean SIT ON THE TRAIL"

Big bear, good shot, dead 40 yards away, happy hunter.

Offered the elk a beer ?

[jackmaster]

TROPHYHUNT and I had a simular the.g happen except we weren't actually huntn elk, we were scouting, well he called a bull in to the same Bush we were hiding in, it was so awesome, literally two feet away, you could see the pupils in his eyes..... I have also been close enough to a bear where he was sniffing my boot, talk about a rush, he is now mounted in my living room

That's funny.

6 or 7 years ago I was hunting and had a non hunting bud along... good friend... gave him the Hoochie Mama... cause he didn't know anything about calling... we got setup on this bugler and Chris gave some calls on the HM.... well, this bull comes in and gets through my lane before I can get a shot... he never stops, walks slowly in an arc around me and ends up a little closer to Chris than that bull was to that guy. I was standing with my bow ready to draw (shooting a longbow)... looking at the situation from this camera mans view... except  the bull was broadside to me... but he was literally less than 1.5 yards from Chris... Chris was down on one knee and had his head down, all he could see weere the bulls hooves... I was trying with all my might to not laugh outloud... I so wish Id had a camera at the ready... The bull would look at me, standing in plain sight, then look down at Chris "suddenly"... then slowly turn head to look at me, then snap his head back to look at Chris... raghorn 5 point, not a nice bull like the one in the vid...

Anyhow, I could not shoot with Chris so close, just didn't seem right... bout a 16 yard shot though 999/1000 times Im sure it would have went fine, but not worth the risk.

The bull slowly turned and circled back around and never gave me a shot....
