  • Bugling for Elk from my super secret spot brings a large bull out of the trees. He cautiously walks to within 5 feet of me before realizing I was there. My tag was "Spike Only" so I could not take a shot at this trophy bull. Truly an amazing encounter.
    Shot using my Sony cybershot 12 mp camera Oct. 2009

    I like how he calls in a mature bull and there are so many comments to about how his bugle needs work. Some elk sound like the worst human caller ever. He obviously got this one right.

    Don't forget, these are the animals that hunters think it's an accomplishment to kill. Extremely unintelligent all year round, but even more so during the rut. At some point it should occur to all hunters due to experiences like this that it's nothing to be proud of to kill these animals. Cutting off their heads and hanging them on your wall is pathetic.

    • @Tyanmax99
      @Tyanmax99 2 роки тому +1

      No one is hunting these solely for the rack . It's the meat they're after, it's probably the best tasting meat in the deer family that will fill your freezer for an entire year.
