Hello Mr… Wayne Kubat,I wanted to write you a brief email to say thank you. I live in Fairbanks and last year I went Moose Hunting for the first time with a bow. I was not even able to get close to a cow Moose. So after the end of the season I was able to find a copy of your video: Love, Thunder & Bull II. After watching your video I also purchased a Bull Magnet. I have watched your video a quite a few times during the off season.
Then Moose season started. Bear in mind where I am hunting the Moose are not very vocal. After a few days I brought out my Bull Magnet. Everyone has been telling me it’s too early to get a response yet. Well last night I called exactly like you state in your video. I started with a long cow call, I did some brush thrashing and bull grunts. I waited 15 min. between calling sets (just like your video recommends). And I finished with a long cow call. This morning I was walking into my set up as quietly as I could when I seen the biggest Moose I have ever seen in this area. The Moose in the area I hunt are historically small. This one was a 60″+, and he was only 74 yards away. Unfortunately that is still out of bow range but it certainly showed how effective the Bull Magnet is. And now I have even more confidence in The Bull Magnet. So you can bet tonight I will be using my Bull Magnet to do some calling. Then tomorrow morning I hope to be bagging that 60″+ Bull.
Dear Wayne,I have been wanting to write to you about my ’06 moose hunt on the Kenai Peninsula…….
Short version. Called evening of opening day and morning of next day. On evening of second day, after I got into my tree and settled down for 15 minutes, I gave my first call. Bingo!
A small bull popped up about 75 yards from me. As you say, patience in the name of the game. On the Kenai, we have antler restrictions so I wanted him closer to see his rack since the area was really brushy. When he got to about 40 yards, I could see he was not legal.
So I continued to call, as a way to determine if my calling was on par or worthless. I pointed the call in a direction opposite from him. Still working the same calling pattern you describe.
Eventually, he circled my tree, letting out soft grunts looking for his sweetheart to be. Then, he wandered off. When he got back to about 75 to 100 yards away, I let out a 1 minute long cow call. It stopped him in his tracks. Eventually he returned and circled my tree again! So, it proved to me that your calling sequence and methodology is successful. I have video footage of him near me that I shot with my digital camera that I could share with you.
Three weekends later, back in the field I follow your plan. Again, on the third calling session, which was a morning, up pops a 53″ bull at about 125 yards away after the very first call. He started raking brush. He had really wierd antlers but at the right angle I saw that he was legal and now the freezer is full!………..
Good hunting!
Hi Wayne,
I just watched your “Love, Thunder, & Bull”, video for about the fiftieth time. Love it! ….
Thank you for your time and the instruction.
Hi Wayne:I hope this finds all well with you and yours. I have just returned from GMU 20E Mooseless.
I spent 9 months planning a “do it yourself” Moose hunt and I am corresponding to let you know that your two videos and “the Bull Magnet” were the most important elements of my trip. While I had to deal with hundreds of logistical issues to have a successful trip, your help (videos) kept everything focused and the Bull Magnet brought in lots of moose.
I can’t thank you enough for the value you provided to me and the wonderful hunting trip we experienced.
I spent a lot of time doing research on moose hunting and money buying books, other videos, etc… and I have some advice to give someone starting out – it is to forget all the other stuff and get your videos (and of course the Bull Magnet).
As I stated previously, the Bull Magnet and calling techniques brought in a lot of moose – I just did not find the one I was looking for (Could you please make a Bull Magnet that only calls in 70″ Moose? Ha Ha)
In closing, I again would like to offer you my sincerest thanks for your major contribution for the trip of a lifetime!
Dear Wayne:
Thanks for your prompt service in sending me your call and videos. The cd’s were fantastic and will definitely help me in improving my moose hunting skills. The call is light and robust and I look forward to using it to its full potential as witnessed in the video…. Thanks again to Your self and Wife!
Dear Wayne,
I am sure that the production of your products – videos and Bull Magnet®” – was economically motivated …, but I hope that you too take pride in the fact that you are producing the very best. I have read everything/watched every video related to Moose hunting in the past 2 years and nothing/no one comes close to providing the kind of valuable (and life-saving) information you do.
Thanks for your professionalism and the attitude and expertise that you share through these tools for hunters. You (your information) is the single most important contributor to my decision to come to AK and Moose hunt. Without your help, I would have never considered it, been prepared or would have probably been killed.
