I like how you got the "low angle" point of view. The camera is always pointed up toward you. :)
Was thinking the same. Camera man needs stilts.

We could hear the bull cross the creek and we knew he was close. We could also hear sticks breaking as he closed the distance. I made the decision not to call anymore to prevent him from hanging up. This reinforces the fact that elk know right where you are at from a noise you make at around 100 yards away.

In that last setup I only let out two soft cow calls right before the camera was turned on.Why would God make me DEAF that cant hear ANYTHING. :bash: :bash: I wish I could hear all those noises, bugling, cows too and get pumped up. Lucky everyone that can HEAR A thing. :'(

Here is a short clip I put together of my bull from this year. We tried documenting the best we could the 20 minutes of moving and calling this bull in.

I enjoy the video! Although my wife said it was driving her nuts. Lol") maybe because I was playing it loudly while her tv show was on.

All hearing hunters have taken for granted the ability to hear. They have had it their whole life and will have till their death. I have a 13 year old daughter who was born deaf and this will be her first year hunting. I will need to be her ears when were out hunting together but know in the future I may not be close to her to tell her what I'm hearing. The best part is her and I can have conversations with out making a sound using ASL :tup: Best of luck to you! Keep the wind in your face and move slow!! :hello:In that last setup I only let out two soft cow calls right before the camera was turned on.Why would God make me DEAF that cant hear ANYTHING. :bash: :bash: I wish I could hear all those noises, bugling, cows too and get pumped up.

This is how aggressive we call on the majority of our setups. At one point in the call in I cut the bull off and you can hear him bugle 2-3 times on his own. At that point I knew we were at least going to get a look at him.

Thanks everyone.

I may have to take a page from your book. In my experience in the country we hunt; unless a bull is really fired up we will locate with a bugle or cow calls and try to work in silent, only calling to relocate. Aggressive calling/raking trees will send most bulls packing. They will usually keep bugling, but moving away into heavier cover. Although if we get right into their living room we'll let one rip and they usually respond well in that case. I think the area we hunt just gets a lot of guys bugling from the top of the drainages so the elk are somewhat educated to calls. I guess it just comes down to sounding like an elk; as you guys obviously do. I may have to check out some Phelps calls. Thanks again for sharing, very cool!
