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.

Great video, that will get a guy fired up!

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.

Great video that is what we all hope to see this weekend.

Looks like another stud Hancock bull!

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

Awesome video thanks :tup:
-
I really didn't need to see that before bed tonight!
Thanks for posting though, awesome 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.

That's awesome

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... :-)

Horny Hybrid just didn't sound as good. I guess Bugling Benchleg would've worked.
I understand that they are mixed up there, they just seem more like a Roosevelt with their body size and being on the western slope. During March 1913, thirty-six Rocky Mountain elk from Montana were released in Snoqualmie and
Enumclaw after the original Roosevelt herds were almost wiped out. The Snoqualmie herd didn't fair so well but the Enumclaw herd thrived reaching an estimated 1,500 by 1967.

Cool video. :drool: I love that he came out of the jack fir, bugled then layed down. Kind of a "no baby, you come to papa" move.

I could give the GPS coordinates of this bull and it doesn't really matter unless you are the one person who drew the Eatonville side of the Hancock tag. I would say my description was general enough.
Thanks for all the comments everyone. I must say I almost shed a tear when our client decided to sell their land holdings in that area. I sure miss it.

Very cool.
Everyone should have a Hoochie Mamma and a hot Rosie.
Just goes to show.........When their hot........Their hot!!
