Rutting Rosie

Here's a video I took back in September of 2014 while working somewhere Mt. Rainier. I was eating lunch and heard a couple bulls bugling back and forth at each other so I grabbed my camera and hoochie mama and snuck in on them. The first bull slipped off to my left right before I started filming, but this guy came right out of the reprod to the cow call. Pretty cool experience, it was my first time messing with calling bulls. I'm surprised you can't hear my heart beating in the video. And excuse my cow calls, I had barely used one at the time.

Ok, for all you bowhunters getting ready to hit the field this weekend.....How many of you would take a shot at that bull in this situation? Same question for muzzy guys too. I hunt muzzy and I think I would have shot when he was quartered to, just before he spooked. Or cow called to stop him right after he spooked.

Looks like another stud Hancock bull!

Holy Smokes, Gus.  99% of hunters here have never had that experience.  Superb video!

Yeah I probably would have around 2:55, like you said right before he spooked. The wind was coming from my right and slightly behind, I knew he was getting close to busting me.

I'm a muzzy guy... I would have shot no question. At least three good opportunities.

Great video!

I'd have drilled him right through the chest with my muzzleloader.

I shoot a 400 grain hard cast bullet that I know makes it through bull elk chests...   :-)
