[QUOTE="Coues Sniper, post: 193476, member: 9377"] IMO, if they were quiet enough, didn't move too fast, and stayed out of the sun the bull probably would never have noticed. Some talking wouldn't have spooked him at that distance. Blaze orange makes little difference. The bull was never looking [B]at[/B] them, just for the source of the noise. If i was confident in my rest, and my abilities, then yes I would have taken that shot. Turned out well for that guy. Longest shot i have taken sitting was 560, and he dropped like a rock. As far as the "bark", i have found it's not really the type of noice, but the volume or tone (urgency). I have seen plenty of deer and elk bolt at a whistle (or "bark" or grunt for that matter) if it's done too loudly or if the whistle seemed to excited. I won't make any noise unless it's an absolute last resort for what it's worth. That bull was not nervous at all and in all likelyhood would have presented a good shot without them stopping him, but things change when a camera is rolling. [/QUOTE]
