Pixman Report post Posted October 14, 2011 Well I posted a story a month ago or so of a bull I have seen over the last 4 years that has a raspy bugle hence the name Raspy. A few weeks ago my wife and I went to my elk spot where Raspy hangs out. We heard some bugels but we didn't hear or see Raspy. On our way out we see a bunch of vultures and crows fly away so I knew something was dead. We walk over and find the remains of a bull that had been killed recently, probably the day before. I thought it might be Raspy and was a little sad thinking I wont hear his distint bugle or see his amazing 5x5 rack anymore. Well I got up early this morning and thought I would see if the bulls are still bugling and maybe see if I could hear or find Raspy. I parked the car a half hour before there was enough light to see and listened for some bugels. The first one I hear is Raspy and he is close by. I could hardly wait for the sun to come up so I could see him and get some pics of him. Luckily I was able to get some pics and hear his awesome bugle! He survived another year as long as he survives the late hunt! Maybe I will see my old friend next year if I am so lucky! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

twigsnapper Report post Posted October 14, 2011 Love this story, I had a bull in 6A I named "one eyed willy" He had one horn that was just a huge sword no points but it was super long and his other side was a perfect six. The first time I saw him was on my archey bull hunt in 08, then on cow hunts in 09 and 10. I got a smile whenever I saw him. Didn't get up there this year though.
