you never know what these elk will respond to

Years ago outside of Sumpter, Oregon my hunting partner Channon and I found a bull that sounded like a gut shot herford cow. For a week we tried to get him to come to a call and he would not. One afternoon I decided to challenge him by sneaking up close and bugling in his face with that same herford cow type bugle he was doing. That guy came in so fast neither of us could react fast enough to kill him. Guess we really didn't think it would work and were completely unprepared. You just never know what those dang creatures will react to.

Need an elk talk interpreter app for my phone so I can understand what the heck they are saying :chuckle: Every time I think I know I find out I'm wrong.

Post by: deerhunter_98520 on September 24, 2013, 06:34:09 PM: Isn't that the truth...I watched a guy whistle a bugle at a bull about 80 yds away the same day I recorded this one and the bull screamed at him....it was pretty funny :chuckle:

Post by: RadSav on September 24, 2013, 06:39:16 PM: Before you could hunt Umtanum in the archery season my chiropractor friend and I would go in there and bugle bulls for the practice. One day we lost all of our bugling battles to the yarder whistle on a local logging operation. After that I thought maybe we should design a pocket sized yarder whistle for hunters :chuckle:

I figured any bugle that close to his cow he would have came lookin for a fight..but he just rounded her up and left

Title: Re: Huge roosevelt!
Post by: deerhunter_98520 on September 25, 2013, 06:07:59 PM: That bull is close to 350".....I just looked at a 306" bull shot 2 years ago and this bull is way bigger
Title: Re: Huge roosevelt!
Post by: snowpack on September 25, 2013, 06:18:17 PM: roosies tend to be a bit bigger bodied, so it makes antlers look smaller than if they were on a rocky
Title: Re: Huge roosevelt!
Post by: BOWHUNTER45 on September 25, 2013, 06:20:33 PM: He is a fine bull ..definitely a shooter ...I have a 350 bull on my wall and he is not quiet that big....who really cares about the score ...I know I do not !!! I am a meat eater :dunno: :chuckle: :chuckle:
Title: Re: Huge roosevelt!
Post by: deerhunter_98520 on September 25, 2013, 06:23:11 PM: The antlers I'm comparing these to are Rosie antlers...shot just a few hundred yards from where I recorded this bull.....score doesn't really matter was just curious what you guys thought ....i wouldn't think twice about shooting this one
Title: Re: Huge roosevelt!
Post by: lewy on September 25, 2013, 06:34:45 PM: I don't see 350, nice bull tho....

Post by: deerhunter_98520 on September 25, 2013, 07:48:44 PM: I haven't seen many big bulls so you guys are probably right but just comparing the bulls I've seen it just seems bigger to me ....must have been bull fever :chuckle:

Post by: Coastal_native on September 26, 2013, 07:11:44 PM: Hmmmm...I would've kept that vid to myself :) Too much scenery. Coastal Washington is a really small place when you're talking about a bull like that in a setting like that...especially if you're from Aberdeen. :chuckle:

Nice vid. A great specimen of an adult Roosevelt bull.

I was just giving you a hard time :chuckle: will you have a chance at him in the late season? Hope so.

Post by: Kowsrule30 on September 26, 2013, 08:14:37 PM: I have a 330 Rocky Mountain bull on the wall and he looks to be way bigger in body size and his antlers have at least 10+ " on them easily... :twocents:
Title: Re: Huge roosevelt!
Post by: bowhuntersd on September 26, 2013, 08:17:12 PM: He is an absolute PIG...270-285" Good spot, I'd try to keep an eye on him until late season. :tup: Good Luck
Title: Re: Huge roosevelt!
Post by: Harborhunter on September 26, 2013, 08:39:43 PM: That's a heck of a nice bull!

Post by: shedkid on September 26, 2013, 08:55:03 PM: I agree with bowhunter 270ish looking at bulls on the wall and pics.DANDY
Title: Re: Huge roosevelt!
Post by: Coastal_native on September 26, 2013, 09:15:47 PM: I put a tape to this one a few times and never came up with less than 285. I'd say the bull in the video has at least 15 more inches of tine.

Interesting to see that I'm not the only one the warbles the cow call sometimes, though I don't get as aggressive with it as you were. I usually mix it with pleading estrus mews. I've never seen it make them run, and sometimes its like candy.
