What is with the guy and the blue wiffle ball bat? And I thought bow hunting was difficult.

Here is the story with that. He had a primos pack bugle and didnt like the sound, so he took the mouth piece and put it in a wiffle ball bat and cut a hole in the other end. We were scouting for 1st season rifle and he got to bugleing back and forth with this bull but he wouldnt come to us, so we moved in on him until he got annoyed. He walked right past him. The bat is now camoed out but it was a pretty cool experience. Thats the story of the wiffle ball bat.

that's awesome! I wouldn't want to piss that guy off on the green, not a lot of trees to hide behind.

unfortunately I don't have the shots that followed, but use your imagination...one pissed off bull, tourists wandering aimlessly towards the harem....

Great pics guys. They definately get the blood pumping for those of us living in the flat lands. Thanks for posting.

Yes, yes - also makes it hard to concentrate at work... ... but then again, it's Friday.

Nice thread.

Awsome pics. That bull looks out of his mind.

I love the picture of the bull giving the evil eye. It says, "are you looking at my women?"

Some great bulls and pics, I wish mine were in the same league.

First pic is a group I was keeping an eye on last winter, there were about 18 bulls in the group off and on. Second is a roadside yellowstone bull from last summer.

Here some elk I've managed to capture on film recently....

They're pretty easy to spot in the Spring. Where these crazy things hide during the hunting-season is a mystery to me..?
