A touch of frost has heightened your awareness and your heart steadily beats in anticipation. Your senses are suddenly alert to the movement on the forest floor and you realize that the moment of truth is at hand.

awesome. I only wish I could be lucky enough to get a tag for a bull. I hope next year (Year 15) is our groups lucky year. Hard to believe it has been 15 years with out a cow or bull tag?? Unlucky I guess.
While watching that video I think I my heart was pumping just as hard as the shooters'.

A 5 yard shot isn't such a deal... holding your spot while he's at 5 yards would be the real test. THAT takes some stones.

What a great hunt. Thanks for sharing it. A good ton of rage coming 5 yards away must have been unnerving. Wet pants check for sure.

Usually the slightest movement would send the other bull running away, but the rut makes them do funny things. Great video, had me on the edge of my seat!

Never seen anything like it......great camera work. It's hard to hold
your ground when they get that close.
