Went out this morning to the top of the pass.I bugeled and three more bugels fired back from about 100yds.I slipped in to about 80 yds and started cow calling.One bull was groaning deep gutteral chuckles and sounded pretty big.I cow called some more and it sounded like they were getting closer and I was getting excited when I heard the brush cracking and snapping.I seen what looked like a cow about 50yds through the brush because I didn' t see any antlers on its head then I got a clear shot of a long and lanky 150 lb black bear.I thought since the elk were down the hill and the bear was right there I would use my bear call.Every time I would call on the bear call the elk would bugel.Then the bear turned and headed towards the elk and they busted.It was a done deal.Mabe next time.
