However...last year muzzy hunting with my dad, ok more like driving around just seeing what we can see (Dad doesn't get around like he used to), we pulled up to an old clear cut. The cut was in a valley spanning both sides, but in the bottom there was a good chunk of timber left. We sat there for about 10min and were getting ready to leave when just for the heck of it I let out a "chuckle" from the bugle. Immediately we heard a response from that timber. I made a whiny spike sounding bugle and this elk went absolutely bizerk tearing up something in that timber. I stayed quiet until the "thrashing" stopped. Made another bugle and this guy was heading right for us. Out of the timber he comes in full view...truck sitting on the landing in plain view. I let out another chuckle and he's still coming, gruntin and huffin and puffin. To make this short, he stopped about 90yds from the landing and never presented a shot.
So...all I'm saying is, just because you call from/near the truck doesn't mean you'll scare everything off. And like I said, I don't necessarily agree with it, but it CAN be effective in the right area.

But yes, in general it does peeve me to be driving down the road to hit another draiange to come around a corner and see someone sitting at the head of a drainage bugling out the window of their truck.

I did have a bull respond to the squeeky door on my Ford Ranger once... I was trying to slip out quietly to check out an area and SQUEEEEEK Bugle
Did again just to verify and it worked. They weren't within stalking distance at last light but my buddy found them in the morning ( without the truck door) :rolleyes:

Like I said, it's not something I would normally do. I was just trying to point out that maybe we don't always understand the circumstances when we see this happening.
GregE - You should of seen the smile and twinkle in the old guy's eyes. I could tell it made his entire year right then and there. Really miss not being able to beat the brush with dad.
Just driving around and talking about the past/present though...I'll never forget these times either. If we luck into something, so be it.

another time in Idaho I was walking along the edge of a cut and these guys pull up at the bottom of the cut, get out, slamming doors, talking, and then blow on their bugle, I consider answering them just to be a wiseguy but am afraid they may try to shoot to"jump" the bull out of the brush so I didn't, but it was tempting.

I heard a guy calling (poorly) from his truck below me once (where I had been sitting for about twenty minutes next to my truck listening), so I bugled back. He answered so I kept working him. He hiked up the hill, when I could see him sneaking up below me, I stood up, waved, and drove away. I guess I was kind of a jerk that day but maybe it spurred him to practice his calling more.... :chuckle:

1. They aren't doing anything wrong and the bickering back and forth is just segregating the hunting community from itself and..
2. If road hunters supposedly don't kill anything them let them stay on the road and leave more animals in the field for those who do get out of the truck.
No I wasn't the guy calling from the truck, i don't even elk hunt. I hear on this forum so many times how the gov't is taking away this or taking away that from us as hunters but then we get on here and flame each other for they way some chose to hunt? Geez i wonder why it's so easy for the WDFW to keep taking from us, we can't even stick together amongst ourselves.
Off my soapbox now thanks for reading.

I wish they were all road hunters. That would leave all of the woods for me. :chuckle:
I hate setting up in an area in the woods and running into someone there. Does not happen very often. I have watched many animals just out of sight from the roads and not get spooked if they think that the people in the vehicles can not see them.

Another thing. These same people are the ones that think that you have to get 10 miles off of a road to see game. Yea right! I killed a 180+ inch buck riding down an old two track on my atv on my way to a hunting spot. Some of the biggest bulls and bucks i've seen have been from, or near a road.
How the hell do these people see so many road hunters, when they're out in the brush five miles? How would this affect their hunting? Do we have some closet road hunters on here? :dunno: Don't be afraid, come on out you roadhuntaphobes! Happy hunting. Happy road hunting too! :chuckle:

Hey Cornfed. Do you know Billbo? This is hilarious. Who the hell do people think they are, to tell someone how to hunt? I know I have posted on this subject before, and I'll say the same. I personally don't enjoy road hunting. It seems to "cheapen" the experience, at least for ME. That being said, I have killed a few animals via 'road hunting'. Either coming or going to a hunting spot, or just by taking a drive in the woods during a downpour. Oh, and some people don't have a choice. Should those people stay home and not hunt?:yeah: At some point In the future I will have to become a roadhunter.

:yeah: X's 2, I hate to say it but yes I'm probably going to end up taking up roadhunting years down the road but I'm going to hike in for as long as I can. :tup:
Had to coment on this one. You killem were you killem! Hiked probly 15 plus miles one day hit the main line to meet up with the wife and rig. I here crunch crunch above road so i stop to look and listen more and a rag horn bull is standing 5 yards away gettin ready to cross road. I draw and shoot. Eaisest bull i ever killed!!
I've gotten lucky like this a time or two as well.
Ok, carry on everybody.

Why do we constantly bash other hunters for hunting within the confines of the law but for not doing it "our" way. I'm guilty of doing it myself from time to time, but we have to remember that if it's not illegal then:
1. They aren't doing anything wrong and the bickering back and forth is just segregating the hunting community from itself and..
2. If road hunters supposedly don't kill anything them let them stay on the road and leave more animals in the field for those who do get out of the truck.
