We have been working on my wifes bugling a bit and it really shows. She is getting pretty good blowing a reed. Bugled and cow called in a nice heavy horned 340 7x6. She was pretty stoked! I ended up calling in a few descent bulls also trying to get a little spike to come in. One bull was a dandy young bull, Id say he looked like a 3-4 year old bull with great potential. He was only a 5x6 but man, what a 5x6 he was. The first 3 points on both sides were between 18-20 inches long :yike: He would go between 340 and 350 !! Anyway ended up calling in another 6x6 to 5 yards dripping with mud and fired up! Stupid satelite! Once he left I had another bull bugle from 100 yards away and he came crashing in, I figured he would be a little 4 or 5 but to our surprise it was my spike. Came in on a string, wife was next to me and ganged him when I stopped him. With a little mis comunication on yardage (I thought she said 51 and it was actually 54 ) I had a perfect heart shot and he went 30 yards and expired!

You actually look pretty sexy in camo and no BEARD!!!!!
LMAO, congrats on the hunt.. So I am curious, you are saying the spike bugled?? I have been asked that question numerous times, and I have no answer. Never had a spike come in, just bigger bulls and cows.

I was thinking of switching to FMJ's before late season(didn't tag out yet). What type of broadheads are you shooting?
I was shooting the 85 grain Montecs.
Great job Charlie! That is an awesome story and thanks for sharing the pic's. I want to especially see the pic's of the full shoulder mount with the head slightly turned and bugling your going to do on that bull. :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: John
The cape is goping to the tannery very soon :chuckle: You just might get your wish :P
