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.
:yeah: 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 :bash:

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

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....
