Montana Decoy Elk Success PhotosElk

Most Herd bulls dont even think about coming into a bunch of bugling so I was excited to have the "Brickhouse" decoy in position. I call your decoy the brickhouse because one day I heard the old 70's song Brickhouse and it made me think of the decoy in a funny sort of way. Anyways, The bull stood at 50 yards out staring "her" down. My brother in law said twice the bull turned to leave, and I just happened to scream at him with my bugle at the right time to turn him back. I call it favor, because that is when the bull turned and made his way down the road on the up hill side. Bob, My brother in law stopped him at 30 yards with a cow call and made a perfect shot going through both lungs and the aortic artery. I watched as the bull jogged 20 yards stopped and started stumbling and then after falling down got back up and ran down hill 10 yards and then laying down died with in 60 seconds. The Bull is a 7 by 7 and scores 345 1/4 P+Y. Your decoy definately helped seal the deal. The bottom picture is the last view the bull had looking at your decoy @ 25 Yards. Lance Rae
