Bugling Bulls? - 02/01/23
Thought I would resurrect this from a thread several years ago. Most newer members won't get it. The discussion was about mounts for bull elk and what poses were favored.
I commented that I had two nice bugling bulls mounted, in right and left hand poses. Basically facing each other. Another member who has claimed he has killed or has been present on the kill of 200 plus elk stated that bulls do not turn their heads sideways to bugle and challenged me to post photos of ones that do claiming that surely I must have at least one.
My wife has four file cabinets with four drawers each of nothing but elk photos that we took over several years during the the rut at Yellowstone, but all on 35 mm slides. I was not about to go thru them all and then have some printed or digitized just to prove this guy did not know as much as he claimed he did. However about a half dozen members posted photo that did indeed show it. Never heard peep out of him. He left for awhile but has returned.
He knows who he is and I imagine others do to. So I invite him to look at the cover of the latest Colorado Outdoors magazine.
Some of us old farts do know what we are talking about.
Don't choke on the crow.
