Hunters from all over moose country have written to tell us about their hunts and how Love, Thunder and Bull in Alaska and/or the Bull Magnet® have helped them out. Here are some more actual testimonies from hunters who have used the products. The first testimonies are from Alaska, but there are many others from Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, New Hampshire, Maine, Canada and more.
AlaskaThese big Alaska moose were harvested using strategies found in Love, Thunder and Bull in Alaska, the Bull Magnet®, or both.

Dear
Wayne,
I harvested this respectable 51" bull moose in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area on opening day of moose season with my muzzleloader...my buddy Brad and I packed this moose over 6 portages down several rivers and lakes over a span of many miles in a 17' canoe...its a once in a lifetime tag draw in Minnesota and we made it an adventure...
p.s. the Bull Magnet® called in a total of four bulls
in two half days of scouting and opening day...this bull swaggered in after
a long drawn out cow call and some previous raking with the call on some
willow brush...thanks again!

MinnesotaHi Wayne,
I had ordered your tapes and call awhile ago and wanted to show you the
results of my "once in a life time" Minnesota hunt. 38 1/2 inches, 1000 lbs.
Good enough for me.
Thank you very much for the excellent call and very informative videos.

Received the moose call today. No damage and I like the tone
it gives. I am very pleased and intend to put it to good use. Thanks for
every thing and I wish you all the best.
Thanks again,

Dear Wayne,
Included is a check for $40 for one "Bull Magnet®". Boy! are your videos
good! Not only is calling well presented, but so is strategy of establishing
lookouts & calling sites. Great Work!
Please keep me informed on any future videos or hunting accessories. etc.
Sincerely
Carl B.
Hi, I watched your moose video, Love Thunder & Bull 2 video.
This was one of the best moose videos I have seen. Could you please send
information on your moose videos & the prices if possible. Thanks.

Dear Mrs. Kubat,
Enclosed is a check for $40.00 for 1 Bull Magnet® Moose Call. Thank you for
such good service. My wife & I enjoyed the Love Thunder & Bull Videos and
are looking forward to future releases. Wayne does a terrific job showing
how to make the vocal sounds.
Thanks again !
Sincerely,

Wayne:
It was nice talking to you on the phone. I received your
videos and moose call. I’ll be putting it to good use in Ontario in Sept..
I’ve looked at the videos several times and they are what you said they are,
very informative with a lot of action.
Thank you again,

Dear Wayne,
I have enjoyed watching your video Love, Thunder & Bull 2. It is full of
useful information for a first time moose hunter. I would like to order a
Bull Magnet®. I have enclosed a check for the call. Again great movie and
thanks for the calling tips.

I am now properly equipped for my late September moose hunt in Newfoundland.
Thanks to your Bull Magnet®. I enjoyed your video and have passed it to a
friend, who also is going moose hunting.
Cheers!

Dear Wayne & Marilyn,
Thanks for the video "Love Thunder & Bull 2". It was great! When you release
the video on caping and butchering moose, will you please inform me! Thanks.

Dear Mrs. Kubat,
Thanks for your note and prompt delivery of the Bull Magnet®. I have another
one that my hunting partner and I bought at retail in Fairbanks, Alaska, but
it is packed with our gear and stored in Alaska. I also have both of your
videos that I show my friends when we get pumped up about moose hunting!
We have hunted moose in Ontario, Newfoundland and Alaska. For the last six
years we hunted drop camps in Alaska - tough hunts, but beautiful country
and we took some very big moose (60, 64, 67 inch. etc).
I needed this moose call because I am going with a group of hunters in Sept.
to very Northern Ontario. I’m not going to hunt (Don’t like Canada gun
laws!) But I’ve offered to help a hunter or two in calling, tracking,
scounting etc. These guys are from Oregon and I don’t know if they’ve seen a
Bull Magnet®, but they’ll get a Demonstration!
Next year, when I retire, I plan on visiting and maybe hunting in Alaska
again - might stop and visit your operation at Alaska Remote!

Just wanted to let you know, I purchased your 1st video Love Thunder & Bull
1 in 1998 just prior to going on a moose/caribou float trip. My partner and
I each killed 2 nice caribou bulls and I got a 50" moose. The moose I got
was called in using the methods learned from watching your tape, as were
several other moose on the float. At the end of our float we caught up to
some other hunters who were trying unsucessfully, to call a bull down river
to them. After they gave up, I called several times and flashed the antlers
from my bull and brought the small bull up to directly across from camp. I
think several of the other group probably went home and ordered your tape!
Thanks for helping to make a very enjoyable and sucessful hunt.
Sincerely, Les A.
Mr. Kubat,
Enclosed please find a check for $29 for Love Thunder & Bull 2. My hunting
partner purchased the first video which we watched several times before our
last hunt. We were hunting unguided out of Kotzebue, Alaska. We both killed
good bulls 62" & 58". We shot them both from camp & both within 50 yards of
the lake. We had been making "moose noises" to imitate your video.
After we shot & cleaned them & while waiting for our pickup, we had 2 more
racked bulls come in near our camp, one within 35 yards.
I have no doubt why these bulls came into us, & I would like some more
education. I look forward to viewing your new video.
Thanks again,

Myself and a couple of friends went moose hunting for the first time last fall. While shopping for hunting supplies we ran across one of your Bull Magnets, and not knowing anything about moose hunting, decided to pick one up as it wouldn’t hurt our chances of bagging a moose.
Well like I said, we didn’t know anything about moose hunting, so when we finally arrived at our drop point we set up camp and I decided to start calling for moose. It was about three days later that moose started showing up and responding to the call. We not only bagged one but both of us bagged a moose that season.
This year I’m ordering your videos so I’ll know how to
properly call a moose and hopefully bag a much larger moose this season, the
whole hunting trip was a blast and thanks to the Bull Magnet® and a very
successful hunt.

Wayne, I purchased a Bull Magnet® and the Love Thunder and Bull 1 & 2 videos last summer. I went on a self Moose hunt on the Chatanika River near Fairbanks in Sept.
I spotted a good Bull one morning crossing the river about a 1/4 mile below me, so I started after him. I could stop him with the call but the brush was so thick I couldn’t get a shot, when I would stop calling he would walk away and each time I grunted or rubbed on a tree he would stop and start rubbing brush. This kept on until he had me probably 300 yards from the river and since we would have to carry out the meat I let him go.
The next morning I hunted the same area and at about 6:45 am I spotted the same bull walking through the bush about a 100 yards paralleling my position. I started rubbing and grunting after about 10 minutes and a lot of brush thrashing on his part I called him in to a clearing about 60 yards from me. One shot from my 30-06 and he was down. I was going to shoot him again, but by the time I worked the bolt back the moose had fallen. The antler spread was 53 1/2 inches.
They said it was a exceptional moose for the area since they
didn’t have a minimum antler size. I also called in a smaller bull earlier
in the hunt about a 30 incher. I have excellent video of my bull during the
calling sequence up to the point I shot him. Since I was alone I choose the
gun over the camera. Thanks for the Instruction
Dale C.
Dear Mr. Kubat,
Just wanted to let you know what a great call your Bull Magnet is. I purchased one in the summer of 2000 and called in 9 different bulls on an Alaska hunt that same year (nothing that I wanted to shoot.) In 2001 I called in a couple of nice bulls before settling on a real high 55" bull with 24 points. In 2002 I hunted north western Ontario for moose.
Unfortunately I was involved in a boating accident the first
day of the hunt and lost my Bull Magnet® (along with most of my other gear)
in 104' of
water when the canoe tipped over. Needless to say I now need a new call. I
am sending you an order for the call with a check for $42.00.
I am still booking hunts for my clients (and myself) in Alaska and the next
time that I am up your way I'll try to look you up. Hope you had a great
hunting season.

Wayne and Marilyn,
Your videos were very instrumental in my deciding to relocate to Alaska six
years ago. For that I will be forever grateful and partially in your debt.
I told my friends that I finally met Wayne Kubat! (and of course Marilyn). I
think you've had more influence on my life as a hunting adult than Superman
did on me as a kid!
I would be thrilled to promote and sell the videos on
my site.

Dear Sir/Madam,
Just bought both your Moose hunting tapes -GREAT instructional tapes!!! I''ve read a couple books regarding Moose hunting and calling, but the tapes explained and showed first hand how to do it! Thank you!!
I leave for my first Moose hunt in your gorgeous state on Sept. 2nd and know
I need two of your "Mega-phones" (sorry, don't remember the proper name),
one for myself and one for the other two in the group of four. I like how
you can call, scrape, rake, and amplify your hearing with it.
Thanks so much! Again, my family loved the videos!

Dear Wayne,
Thanks for getting the videos and Bull Magnet® to me so soon after you had
the latest video finished.
I viewed #2 first as you suggested and found it to be all I had hoped for.
The moose footage is outstanding. While I am certainly not in any hurry for
summer to end, I am anxious to put the strategies and techniques
demonstrated in the tape into practice as this moose season approaches. I
can see that not following your basic tenant, patience, may have been why
some of my past calling attempts were unsuccessful. I really like the music
too.
After viewing tape#1 last night, I think the two tapes compliment one
another. I was impressed with how close you called some of the moose and I
of couse appreciated the large bull taken by a bowhunter. I agree that #2 is
much more inclusive and offers the hunter much more, but for basic moose
calling instruction, I think either can stand alone. I will be viewing each
one several more times prior to and during moose season.
Virtually all of my moose hunting in 32 seasons in Alaska has been on the
road system in Units 14-A and 15. I have always walked from my house or
driven a highway vehicle and walked in. Consequently I have had few
opportunities to hunt large bulls. The areas I hunt are heavily wooded and I
usually still hunt though I have spent some time in tree stands in recent
years. Calling has always intrigued me as a possible way to improve my
hunting. This may be the year.
Thanks Again,
Dane P.

Hi there, I just saw your video Love, Thunder & Bull 2 in Alaska yesterday
and I wanted to drop you a line to tell you how great I thought it was! I
found it extremely informative and plan to try some of your techniques the
next time I'm out hunting moose!
Thanks in advance! Keep up the good work!

Wayne,
I just wanted to give you an update on our moose hunting. The area we drew
our moose tag here in Idaho was not the greatest for holding large amounts
of moose and most of the moose we did see were branch antlered bulls (no
palms), they looked more like elk antlers than moose.
I just wanted to write to you and thank you for the help your videos,
calling techniques and Bull Magnet® helped us. Towards the end of Sept. is
when we were concentrating on our moose hunt since we had decided to only
take a moose with archery equipment we were trying to get in on the
beginning of the rut before the general rifle season started. Our plan
worked out well since we hit the beginning of rut pretty well. In a 3 day
period we called in 4 Bull moose to bow range.
My wife and I had been glassing a lake on a late evening hunt since I had
shot a deer earlier that day our evening hunt was limited. I wanted to go
check out a small pond below this lake where we had heard a cow and calf had
been hanging out. As we were moving around the lake towards the lower pond I
looked across the lake just as a nice bull was coming to the shore. After a
quick glance through my binoculars I saw my first moose that actually looked
like a moose. He had palms on each side and appeared to have a good spread.
I told my wife that was the moose and if we could get into position I would
take this one. We ran back the way we had come to get behind a dike that
served as the lakes dam. My wife climbed to the middle of this dike and
eased up to the top where she could see the bull. I kept moving to the end
of the dike looking for a place to set up. Before I was ready my wife called
to the bull. Using your fiberglass call she let out a long cow call. She had
seen that the bull was beginning to move back into the timber and had called
to try and draw him back, even though I was not ready and couldn’t see the
bull I figured I had better make due with what ever setup I could arrange
where I was, so I setup in front of a small buck brush. I had a good opening
in the trees to the shore of the lake and estimated I would have a 30 yard
shot if the bull came along the shore of the lake. In my haste to setup when
my wife began calling, I had not noticed a dead branch sticking up which I
ran pell mell into causing it to snap (or rather explode). Within moments I
could see movement through the trees along the shore of the lake. "He’s
coming I excitedly thought". Just before he entered my opening in the trees
I came to full draw on my Mathews bow, but to my horror the bull stepped
into my opening facing me, giving me no shot and a slight shudder wondering
what was going on in that bulls head. Lucky for me my wife also saw him turn
in my direction and she called again to the bull. The bull turned and again
began walking towards the sound of the cow my wife was so elegantly
imitating. He was again behind trees and I slowly followed his movements
with my sights knowing that the shore he was walking along met with the dike
only a scant few yards farther where he would be within 22 yards and at a
good broadside passion. Everything went as hoped and as he stepped up to the
dike he stopped, My site pin found the spot I wanted behind his shoulder and
the arrow was away driving deep into his side. Needless to say my wife
decided with a huge bull moose barreling down the dike towards her she had
better get out of the way so she snatched up her bow and gear and quickly
shuffled down the dike and into bushes at the bottom. The bull ran within
two feet of where she had been sitting as it ran down the dike of the lake.
We recovered the bull and I have included a picture in this e-mail. I have
not had him scored yet but I am told he has the average spread of a Idaho
Moose at 36" he is a 8x9. In my eyes he is a true trophy. Thanks for helping
us be successful in this once in a lifetime effort here in Idaho.
Thanks Again,
Joe & Ilene B.
Dear Wayne,
I recently purchased your moose call for my moose hunt in Maine. I am a
guide in Maine and have used many different moose calls. I am sure I am not
the first to tell you, but your call works great! Early on the second
morning after passing up several small bulls on opening day, I started with
a long cow call in an area where I knew there were big bulls. I followed it
with two bull calls, waited a couple of minutes and was about to move along
when I heard it, that distinct low grunt in the distance. I called again and
that was all it took, the bull was on his way thrashing everything on his
way. A couple of minutes later after closing in on me from well over two
hundred yards, was a great bull for Maine - 54 inches and 950 pounds with 19
countable points. I shot him with my 270 and he only ran 20 yards, what a
great hunt.
I only have you to thank. Thank you so much for contacting me about your
Call, it works great.

Hello. Last year I ordered a bull magent from you and let me tell you it
worked. I was able to call in a bull moose during the 2001 Maine moose hunt
using a cow call and your bull magnent. I ended up giving this call to
another hunter who helped me get the moose out of the woods.
So, I am sending a check to you for $40.00 for 1 Bull Magnet®. Thanks again
and good hunting

Hey Wayne:
I am not sure if you remember me, but I bought a call and tapes from you
about 6 months ago. I am from Rochester MN. Well I shot a moose. Not a huge
one, but average for Minnesota.
What is even more nuts is the guy that bought a call from you also a year
prior (Jim Brand) , helped me out a bunch so I took him goose hunting today,
because the late season Canadian goose season opened today and we pounded
them also!!
Good hunting, this coming fall is Alaskan moose now! I have already warned
my girlfriend that I will be coming to Alaska.

Wayne, I have your “Love, Thunder & Bull 2” video, and have enjoyed it a lot
and learned a lot from it.
I saw your moose call on the internet and am very interested in purchasing
one, but I need to get it asap. Can you help?

Hi,
My name is Tom Healey. I bought the Love, Thunder, and Bull video with the
Moose Magnet from you guys back in 1995. Since then I'm 2 for 2 in moose
hunts in New Hampshire. The video and Moose Magnet were great.
Both times I've hunted with your call, I've
got bulls to come within 15-20 yards.
If I ever get up to Alaska for a hunt, you'll be the guide I call.
Thanks Again,
Tom H.
Mrs. Kubat:
Just wanted to let you know I had a great time hunting New Hampshire Moose
this year with the Bull Magnet®. We found that moose responded vocally often
(both cows and bulls). We found that most often when we saw moose (23 moose
during a 4 day hunt), it was in an area we had called in. "Thunder 2"
provided us all the calling instruction we need for a successful hunt. We
had a chance at a 50+ inch bull that caught us flatfooted. We ended up
harvesting a large cow as the weather started to close in. Please accept my
thanks for sending the "magnet"
and waiting for my check. Please feel free to use me as a reference should
the need arise for vouching for your product. Perhaps someday, I'll be up to
hunt with you!

Subject: Bull Magnet® and two videos
Dear Wayne,
This weekend I met a fellow here in New Hampshire, Phil Stearns. I
am hunting moose this year with my son. He was lucky enough to draw
a permit in our lottery. This will be our 4th hunt. So far we have had 100%
success.
He had one of your Bull Magnet® calls. Very nice and practical call. Very
durable. I would like to buy two of the calls. One for me and one as a gift.
I would like two of your Love Thunder and Bull 2 videos and 2 of the Love
Thunder and Bull.
Thanks,

Wayne,
My brother bought a Bull Magnet® two years ago from you with the video. I
used the magnet last year on my Shiras moose hunt and called in several
bulls. I am one believer in calling Moose. In fact I think it is more fun
than bugling Elk.

I just want to tell you, I was shocked how the Bull Magnet® worked. I drew a
tag in Wyoming for moose. I wanted to shoot one with my bow. The first day I
used it (the first 10 mins.) I had a bull darn near run me over! I missed
the first arrow at 25yds, then the bull took off, I called him right back
in, and shot him at 15yds.
Thanks for such a great experience.
