Obviously not drawn in the mountains where the winds are most likely to be swirling.

Wind looks wrong to me and he's using the wrong broadhead.

That's awesome. Tobin, ain't that the truth. Should have about 50 arrows pointing every which way. That would be realistic.

Did the rifle hunter have a combo tag?

Even if it were to work, it's not DIY.

Wind doesn't matter.... the bull was obviously within the callers "angle of influence".... nothing left now but the 100 yard shot....

From: JTreeman

Dude, that must be what I've been doing wrong.

Thanks for sharing.

Still trying to figure out what this represents? I do know this much its definitely not DIY, its on TV and the archer needs to turn his left foot to the right.

A hat trick?

Somebody got a score on that Bull?

From: LUNG$HOT
13-Oct-14
Lmao I saw that same pic on my tv a few days ago and cracked up! That bulls at least 450. I hope that guy has an ozonics!

From: Jaquomo

100 yard frontal shot on a bull is a good choice, especially if the wind helps carry the arrow to the bull. I do that all the time. Rarely get a pass-through, though.

Ike, that graphic is a beautiful thing!

Caller behind the shooter 100 yds. Shooter set up on the UPwind side of the elk. Got it!

Here I've been trying to set up downwind all this time. I feel so stupid.

Thanks for posting, Ike.

Glad I'm not an elk hunter, I would screw this up !

From: midwest

Judging by the profile of the callers pants...he seems to be a bit....um...excited? Maybe morning wood?

I think they are saying it's not a realistic call unless you pee all over your underbelly!

From: SteveB

I figured it out.....they're using the wrong camo, right?

From: Norseman
13-Oct-14
Great situation for a shot. Notice the bull is inhaling.

"I think they are saying it's not a realistic call unless you pee all over your underbelly!"

That's just for realistic grunts....

Easy shot Lou.... my understanding is it gets sucked right down the windpipe.....

From: Norseman
13-Oct-14
He shot over the bulls back 3 times ...

From: dingo

That set-up is the "Red Stag Mousetrap". You need to remember to reverse everything across the equator and bugle instead of roar.

From: GhostBird

... forget the wind, just hunt

From: Brotsky

Looks to me like he's going to dry fire his bow into the elks mouth. Interesting choice of tactics. At least they have a good wifi signal there.

From: Beendare
15-Oct-14
Oh man, not another "frontal" thread

From: 12yards
15-Oct-14
That is the best frontal. Notice he is aiming to take out the vocal cords. Deadly!

From: 12yards

And that caller definitely needs a hip replacement.

From: Bear Track
15-Oct-14
So obvious he's using the Nose Jammer!!!

From: Bowfreak

There is only one thing that would make this graphic better and that would be the bowhunter going for the Hamblaster.

From: Bear Track
15-Oct-14
Or maybe an Ozonics commercial?

15-Oct-14
They must be using scent-eliminating gum...

15-Oct-14
I finally figured it out. The caller is using one of those New Elk whistles.

From: treestandman
15-Oct-14
It's obvious, he's using the cough suppressor...all is good!

17-Oct-14
I knew those scent-loc suits worked or maybe they are using dead down wind.

From: elkhunter-ny

I think the hunter has soaked his clothes in "cow in heat" lure.

From: Elkhuntr
22-Nov-14
by the looks of it, the caller just crawled out of bed and needs to take a leak.

22-Nov-14
and why would you throw three boomerangs out in front of your call?

From: Surfbow
22-Nov-14
Is the elk far enough away for the arrow to pick up speed? It's hard to tell...

22-Nov-14
according to the chart the elk is 100 yards away or so.
