1
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 1: As a guide and hunter, I've spent thousands of days

2
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: in the field. This show is about translating my hard

3
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 1: won experiences into tips and tactics. They'll get you closer

4
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 1: to your ultimate goal success in the field. I'm Remy Warren.

5
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: This is cutting the distance. You are in the elk woods.

6
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: There's elk around. They're calling, You're calling. Yet when you call,

7
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: that bull just rounded up his cows and went the

8
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: other direction. That ever happened to you probably has. You

9
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: might be thinking yourself, what was I doing wrong? And

10
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 1: how do I regularly bugle in one of those bulls

11
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: that decides to take his cows away from me? This week,

12
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: I want to cover some advanced bugling trickery. Elk season

13
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: is upon us, and therefore I would divulge the info

14
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:09,759
Speaker 1: quite reluctantly, because this is one of my best kept

15
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,320
Speaker 1: elk hunting secrets, and I'm not really sure anybody has

16
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: gone into this tactic in this kind of detail. What

17
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about is dogging a bull. In that

18
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: scenario where the bull runs away, you've actually done nothing wrong.

19
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: In fact, you've done everything right. Now an elk moving

20
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: away might mean something, But I'm gonna tell you what

21
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: that means and the deadliest tactics to employ to what

22
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: I like to call bulldogging that animal. I want to

23
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: tell you a story of a little bull, not even

24
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: a little bull, a bull, a bull that I like

25
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: to call Stubby mcnubbins. Now, this bull has tricked many

26
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:05,639
Speaker 1: a hunter's. He had a six point antler on one side,

27
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,839
Speaker 1: then a five point on the other, with this big

28
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: old drop time that dropped down past his face. And

29
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 1: it wasn't just the antlers that made him Stubby mcnubbans.

30
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 1: It was the way he walked. He just walked with authority.

31
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: He was the meanest bull in this particular area, and

32
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: I had had many encounters with him over the years. Now,

33
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: while guiding, one year, I was sitting on a area

34
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: glassing and sure enough I turned up Mr Stubby mcnubbs.

35
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 1: I rarely name elk or anything that I'm hunting, but

36
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 1: this this one I've had a history with. So I

37
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: make a play. The plan is get down wind and

38
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: the wind happens to be going down is near evening,

39
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: Get in and he has a harem of cows with him.

40
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: It's a pretty good size heard, I would say fifty

41
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: plus elk, and Stubby is the ring leader. Like, how

42
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: am I going to get this bull to come in?

43
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: There are other bulls here, but man, nothing compares to

44
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: a little Stubby. So play is get down wind, creep

45
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: in as close as possible to the herd, let out

46
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: a bugle. I'm hoping that I'll be within his cows.

47
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: He'll think, mah dang, I'm the boss. No, not in

48
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: my house. Come in for a fight. Arrow him, sweet done.

49
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: Old Stubby had a different plan. Old Stubby wanted to

50
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: see how well our lungs worked and how athletic we

51
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: could get. Because when I bugled, Stubby bugle back rounded

52
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: up his cows and took them the other direction. I

53
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: looked at my hunter and said, we're gonna go. He's like, Okay,

54
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: I think he's probably already tired by this point. But

55
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: when I say we're gonna go, I mean we're going.

56
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: This is this is Stubby we're talking about here. I

57
00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: have a history with this bull. Right he starts putting

58
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: his cows up the hill. The cows are making all

59
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: kinds of racket. There's enough of them where it's almost

60
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: seems mass confusion. But he is leading the charge. He's

61
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: pushing these elk up the mountain away from us. We

62
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: are about I would say, two thirds of the way

63
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: from the bottom, and I know for a fact he's

64
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: gonna push him all the way to the top. As

65
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: he starts working the elk, it's nearly impossible to lose

66
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: this herd because you can hear not only him bugling

67
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: pretty much every time I bugle, but the cows just

68
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 1: going off. He's definitely trying to rain him in and

69
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 1: push him in the direction he wants. We move as

70
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: fast as we can, chasing after these elks. I'm bugling

71
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,119
Speaker 1: as I'm further away. I'm I'm bugling like a smaller bowl.

72
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: As I get closer, bugle and meaner and meaner. The

73
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: sound starts to disappear, and that, I know means that

74
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: they dipped over the top of the ridge. I look

75
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 1: at my hunter and I'm like, we need to get

76
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: to the top now. We we pretty much gave it

77
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: every thing we had as soon as we got to

78
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: the ridge. We're practically running to the top where they

79
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: went over. When we got to the top, out of breath,

80
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: I set up the cow decoy. I had a montana

81
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 1: decoy and I had the stakes in it. It was

82
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: all ready to go at this point. I got it

83
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: out as we were moving fast. I get just over

84
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: the rise of the top, dropped down a little bit,

85
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: set up the decoy kind of in the open, let

86
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: out a call. I hear Stubby and then I see

87
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: antler tips he is coming in, and he's coming in hard,

88
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: stomping his way up. Well, my thought is there's a

89
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: little bit of small conifers right behind us, and I'm thinking, okay,

90
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: I whispered to my hunter. When he gets behind these trees,

91
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: you'll draw. He's coming on a straight line. He's gonna

92
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: be right in our laps. The decoys up and we're

93
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: kind of hiding behind the decoy. As Stubby stomping his

94
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: way up here, that decoy falls over. I didn't have

95
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,919
Speaker 1: a stake very good. The ground was hard. The decoy

96
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:10,239
Speaker 1: just falls forward slowly right onto the ground. But old

97
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 1: Stubby's so dang fired up. He gives zero fs and

98
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: keeps coming. Yet I think the act of the decoy

99
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: falling over, and now just feeling exposed, I just whispered,

100
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: don't move. My hunter is shaking so hard. I'm like,

101
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 1: wait till he crossed. There's one little pine. He has

102
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: ten more steps. He's gonna go right behind this little pint.

103
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: He can draw, and he's gonna have a ten yards

104
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: broadside shot. Stubby is ours, the hunter is shaking, and

105
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: just I think, essentially freaks out, does a really big

106
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: motion to draw. Stubby stops, wheels around, starts to run.

107
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: I hit the bugle. He stops at thirty yards. I

108
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: call it thirty yards. Lets the arrow go whack, hits

109
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 1: the damn tree right behind him. The bull runs off

110
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 1: a bugle again fifty yards. The hunter draws back, then

111
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: stands up. Stubby season and that's that runs off. The

112
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: key to this entire setup working is first understanding elk behavior,

113
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: and then I'm gonna kind of define the tactic. So

114
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: here here's the trouble that people have when they bugle

115
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: a bull and then the bull gathers up his cows

116
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: and runs away. They think, oh, I must have done

117
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: something wrong. He didn't like the way I sounded. A

118
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: lot of elk calling is not how well you bugle,

119
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: but how you use the type of call for the scenario,

120
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: because all elks sound different, and I have heard real

121
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 1: elk that just sound like the worst callers in the world. Heck,

122
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: I believe that I am a better caller than most

123
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: helk out there, and maybe that's the problem sometimes. But

124
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: you gotta look at it like this. As a human,

125
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: when we call, we assume that they think that we

126
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: are humans and we did something wrong. You really have

127
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: to look at it through the elk's eyes. When an

128
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: elk rounds up his cows, it probably means the exact

129
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: opposite of what you're thinking. If the wind is good

130
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: and there's no reason for him to round him up,

131
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: he's actually reacting to you like you are a real elk,

132
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: which is what you want. That's the whole part of calling.

133
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: Deception is a bull thinking that you are a real elk,

134
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 1: because that's what elk do when they encounter each other.

135
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: A bull like Stubby mcnubbins is a herd. Bull that's

136
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: his herd. He can't just run in and fight every

137
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: single elk that approaches him. A lot of times he

138
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: gets those elk on the move and then hopefully pushes

139
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: those elk away from the elk that's trying to come

140
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: after him. Now, why would he do that. There's a

141
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: lot of reasons he would do that. But the primary

142
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: reason is he just doesn't want to have to deal

143
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: with that bull on those terms. He wants to feel

144
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: that bull out. He wants to win a vocal battle

145
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: before having to exert physical energy, and he can do

146
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: that by just talking with that bull as he's moving

147
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: those cows away and letting those cows know, look, this

148
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 1: is my herd. That guy doesn't mean anything. We're just

149
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 1: gonna keep it like this. But there are ways that

150
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: you can call and ways that you can react to

151
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: the way he's pushing those elk away like a real

152
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: elk would, which would incite him to turn around and

153
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: challenge you. I would classify the tactic of bulldogging is this.

154
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 1: It's where you persist on a bull to the point

155
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: where he has no other option but to turn around

156
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: and fight. And that's what you want. So how do

157
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: you get to that point? It's in the technique and

158
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 1: the tactics of calling. It takes two things. It takes

159
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: the right set up and would say the most important

160
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 1: some physical stamina. The reason that I would stay in

161
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 1: shape for elk hunting is because of this tactic, because

162
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,319
Speaker 1: it is so successful that if you can pull it off,

163
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: you pull it off regularly. So let's set up the scenario.

164
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: The end game where most bulls turn around and fight

165
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:24,079
Speaker 1: is what you're reaching for. That happens as you gain

166
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: the dominant position over that bowl, which sees himself as

167
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: a dominant bull. Where does that happen when you actually

168
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: gain elevation over the elk? So what I like to

169
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: do is I like to push the elk uphill and

170
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: I would say seven out of ten times I can

171
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: get that bowl. If if I've kept up, it's probably

172
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 1: more like nine out of ten times I can get

173
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 1: that bowl to turn around and come in. Once he's

174
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: crested the top and I am above him within two yards.

175
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: Now you think, well, I could never catch up to elk,

176
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: But it isn't that he's moving that whole herd of elk.

177
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,839
Speaker 1: Those cows don't don't really give a rat's ass. They

178
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 1: don't want to be pushed around. Half those cows are

179
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: gonna be feeding, they're gonna be stopping. I've even seen

180
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 1: cows get over the top and lay down because he's

181
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 1: just maintaining that herd and trying to assert his dominance

182
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,439
Speaker 1: in a group of elk that is mostly matriarchal except

183
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: for during the rut, like he's running the roost right now,

184
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: But those cows really know that they run the ship

185
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 1: the year. So even though he's pushing him away, a

186
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: lot of those cows are dawdling, they're doing their thing.

187
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 1: He's not really trying to make them run away from you.

188
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: He's just trying to say, look, I'm in charge right now.

189
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: And so it gives you the opportunity to get into

190
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: that bull's head through the calling, and also gives you

191
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 1: the opportunity, with the right amount of physical exertion to

192
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: catch up and give yourself that scenario where he drops

193
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: over the ridge and you're now on the top, which

194
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: is where he's probably going to turn around and chasing.

195
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 1: So in order for the setup to work, you need

196
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: a downhill wind and you want to start calling below

197
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: the bull. A lot of times you'll find that if

198
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: you're below and elk calling and he is a dominant elk,

199
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: he will actually call a lot back to you, but

200
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 1: he won't actually come into you most of the time.

201
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: There was the occasional time they do. But when you

202
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,959
Speaker 1: get that dominant bull on the move and then get

203
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: above him, it pisces him off. So I'm gonna go

204
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: through the calling techniques to get that bull to that

205
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: piste off point. So it's gonna work when you get

206
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 1: to the top. You put in all that energy hiking

207
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: chasing after him. You want to make sure you do

208
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: the right sequence to get him to turn around more

209
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 1: often than not. So it starts out like this. Let's

210
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 1: say the scenario is you call, he calls, You call,

211
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: he calls. You're below him, the winds going downhill. You've

212
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: got the right setup. You're gonna want him to push

213
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: those elk uphill, those cows uphill because they don't really

214
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: like to go uphill. It's physically exhausting. He's going to

215
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: be running around a lot, and he knows that's what's

216
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: gonna put him in a bad mental state when you

217
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 1: get to the top. When I start out at a

218
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: further distance, I like to sound small from a distance

219
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: and sound big as I get closer. There's a reason

220
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: for that. It's a mental game in his head. As

221
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: he's pushing those elk, you want him to constantly scream back,

222
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: I'm the boss. I'm the boss. But as you get closer,

223
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 1: you want him to doubt what's happening. You want to

224
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: now tell the elk the cows around him that you're

225
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: the boss. You're the boss, So you want him to

226
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: get brazen from a distance and then be bold as

227
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: you get closer. So let's say it like this, the

228
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: elks start moving call, I'm doing more simple, drawn out bugles,

229
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:49,199
Speaker 1: not a lot of emphasis into it. To start. I'll

230
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 1: let him build up. My first aggressive bugle is going

231
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: to be as he's clearly moving in the direction I want,

232
00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: I'll start the chuckling sequence. Your hope is, and it

233
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 1: will probably happen, is that bull starts chuckling back. Now,

234
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: this scenario works when the elker kind of in a frenzy,

235
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 1: you'll hear a lot of cow calling. You hear that

236
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 1: bull bugling, and that's how you're gonna be able to

237
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: stay on these elk and follow him. As I get closer,

238
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start throwing cow calls in the bulls distance

239
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: through my bugle tube and bugles away from the bull.

240
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: The reason is is I want him to believe that

241
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: there are cows. Like let's say we're getting towards the

242
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 1: top third of the hill. I want him to think, Okay,

243
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: there's still cows back there, and the bulls behind. I

244
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: want him to believe that the bulls further away than

245
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: I actually am, because what that's gonna do is that's

246
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: going to slow him down. He's gonna try to keep

247
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: a certain distance from me. But if he thinks the

248
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: bulls further away, that allows me time to catch up. Also,

249
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: if he thinks there's cows where I matt, that might

250
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 1: give him the idea of okay, I still have things

251
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: to round up. Now, the play really comes in when

252
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: you get to the top. Once you get over the top,

253
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: he's lost whatever elk might have been behind. This is

254
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: the point where right now throw out cow calls at

255
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: the top, but switch the roles. I throw the cow

256
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: calls back behind me, so he thinks the cows are

257
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: further away. My first bugle over the top is going

258
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: to be the meanest, hardest bugle I can do. I'm

259
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: talking a type of bugle. And when you both through

260
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: the bugle tube, it's like someone kicked you in the nuts.

261
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: If you don't have nuts, it's like you're kicking someone

262
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: else in the nuts. The reason is is because you

263
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: want him to believe that now this bowl is between

264
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: him and his cows, he has the upper hand by

265
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: being above him, and he is piste and claiming that

266
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: herd any bowl in his right mind that doesn't want

267
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: to lose his cows is now going to turn around

268
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: and try to push you off or fight this other

269
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: intruder off. You're at the top of the hill and

270
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: you're just gonna go. It doesn't even matter what really

271
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: the call sounds like at the top, as long as

272
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 1: it sounds piste like elk. Feel that feeling. So I'm

273
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: gonna throw the cow calls back behind me, and then

274
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna let out just something, throwing some voice

275
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: inflections and just sound angry. I mean by this point

276
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 1: that the real bulls throat might be cracking. He's gonna

277
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: sound weird. It's okay, it doesn't matter. Just sound angry.

278
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 1: At that point that bull below you should not like that,

279
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: and you'll know he'll turn around and he'll either comes

280
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: straight in or he'll let out a similar bugle, start

281
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: raking and then come in. That is your that up

282
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: where you're gonna get that bull. If you've made it

283
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: to that point, congratulations, my friend. You just dog that

284
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: elk now buglin chasing elk? That right, there's what it

285
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:16,360
Speaker 1: gets a blood pumping that is the epitome of September

286
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 1: elk hunting, but doesn't always go down like that. So

287
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: next week I want to talk about those times where

288
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: those elk are not making a peat. I'm gonna tell

289
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 1: you the secret to calling in a bull that doesn't

290
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: want to respond on those weeks where it sounds like

291
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: nothing's in the woods and nothing's happening. As always, thanks
