How'd they do THAT?

 

[GASoline71]

Holy shit! When the beast licks the broadhead... That's close!!!

Gary

 

[TreeDimensional]

Close enough to get a front foot planted right on top of his head!!!!

I know a guy who raised Elk. You sure don't let 'em get that close, for the above stated reason.

 

[Newfie]

That is too cool. One of my neighbors got a bull moose on Tuesday. Filled the back of his truck and then some.

 

[sotc]

Seen that last year, both awesome and scary with that calf back there!

 

[GASoline71]

I thought the same thing Willie... a mama moose and her calf is prolly worse than a mama bear and her cub...

Gary

 

[MasterBlaster]

Was that a wise thing they were doing?

Is that all it takes to fool a moose? Remain motionless???

Sorry, but the 'hunter' in that video looks like a department store mannequin. I've never seen anyone with a skin tone that color unless they were on their death bed. They show the 'person' in the edge of the screen for the first 10 seconds of the video and even bump it once to make you think the 'person' was moving. I'm going to say the camera was remote controlled and there was no human within a quarter mile of that animal when the video was recorded.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Well, that's not fair. I can't believe I can't trust teh interwebs.

Just come to Scandinavia in winter.
Then we all look like that.

At the end of the video, tell me why the 'thumb' isn't actually gripping the bow. Do you hold a bow with your thumb locked straight out like that?

 

[woodworkingboy]

Do mannequins have fingernails?

Yes.

Butch, some serious scent control and being still works wonders. I can't count how many elk friends have taken under ten yards

 

[MasterBlaster]

Crikey.

 

[arborworks1]

Wind seemed to be in his favor. Still licking the broadhead is close enough that scent control is null.

 

[MasterBlaster]

So, is "licking the broadhead" the goal of every archer?

 

[sotc]

Haha, just killing a mossyhorn! Thats the only time i've hearrd of it

 

[Treepreacher51]

I think the hunter and camera man were real and the Moose was a remote controlled robot of some sort.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I wonder if a lion woulda done that? Any lion bowhunters??? Now THAT would be something to brag about.

 

[sotc]

I stuck one from 30 yards two years ago! My adrenaline was flowin!

 

[Treepreacher51]

You da man Willie!

 

[sotc]

I didn't find it though, we even came back the next morning

 

[Treepreacher51]

Bummer.

Still cool, and ballsy to get a shot on a cat with a bow. As you know, it could close that 30 yard distance in a blink of an eye. Did you have a buddy providing over watch with a scoped rifle?

I assume you had a sidearm. Is there an archery only season fore mtn lions on Oregon (assuming that's where you were?)

 

[woodworkingboy]

Some years ago someone posted a picture of a mountain lion looking very angry with dogs around him. Possibly just before it was shot. A powerful photo if anyone still has it.
