Remembering Bushwacker

- čas přidán 5. 07. 2024
- Bushwacker, the bucking bull many consider the greatest of all time, calmly laid down yesterday, closed his eyes and passed away.He was 18 years old and had been enjoying the past decade in retirement on Julio Moreno’s ranch in California.Before that, there was of course a truly legendary PBR Brand of Honor career including three world championships (2011, 2013, 2014), 64 buck offs in 66 outs, and the infamous 42-out buckoff streak finally broken by JB Mauney.
He was a smart-ultracompetitive heavyweight. In fact, Julio compared him to Muhammad Ali. He knew he was the greatest, and strutted around the arena as such.Off the dirt, no bull before or since has received as much attention...or relished it as much. The proud chocolate bovine who never met a camera he didn’t like was a mainstream pop culture superstar - certainly the most popular PBR athlete during his reign.
Newsweek likened him to Michael Jordan. ESPN the Magazine made him the first animal featured in their popular “Body” issue. He transcended our sport.In the arena, Bushwacker was king and he lived that way until the end. He will forever be a symbol of strength, power, determination, raw athleticism and greatness. Rest in Peace, Champ

I always loved how he was the consummate professional! Never played dirty in the chute, never tried to maul a bucked off rider and waited patiently at the gate to leave the arena! A true gladiator and a gentleman to boot! I tip my hat to you, you’re truly the king of beasts!
wow .. his intelligence and patience to use his energy at just the right time .. incredible!
Bummer

Never pulled the race card either.
I know no one will ever read this but, I've known nothing about anything this video talks about, but it has given me a huge respect for the sport of bullriding because of the pure respect for the bull they have. its simply amazing and not just humans using an animal. wow the respect and love is insane.
Bulls in bull riding are treated very well.
The sport is truly dependent on both the bull AND the rider. Must have been some crazy, bored cowboys who created this sport. Remember, though, the bulls have a strap to make them buck and move. A great bull learns to get the job done and get back to being pampered. 😅
remember that when you hear someone talking lies about the sport and try to set them straight
What about all the bulls they breed, then send off to auction? 😬 I respected the fact that they appreciate their bulls too….until I heard how they’ll just breed a bunch, & if they don’t throw a dummy hard enough, get send off.
You would fall in love at a RODEO … go check one out 😉
I admire JB for taking the hardest path to a championship it shows a lot of character
I was there in 2016 for Bushwacker's final outing, and man, what a show the big guy put on. He was an incredibly big bull, muscular and powerful, but moved like a ninja, a thousand plus pound ninja. Really a sight to behold. It's a miracle anyone ever rode him at all. I hope enjoyed his last peaceful years, truly a magnificent animal and tremendous athlete. RIP Bushwacker, 6/1/2006 - 7/2/2024. Tell Red Rock and Bodacious we miss them, too.
Rip Bodacious & Bushwacker. Couldnt help but to mention Bodacious another great bull ill never forget ❤
All business and pure class. I love the shots of him running out of the arena and waiting at the gate. His work's done, he's punching the clock.
Rest in Paradise Bushwacker. You were a joy to watch. One of my favorite bulls of all time. 💯💪🏽
Honestly I want to show this video to everyone who says bull riding is cruel. These animals, Bushwhacker in particular, loves the sport as much as the audience, and hell of a lot more than the riders.
sadly that crowd wants to see cruelty in all animal sport partners. Its a deliberate ignorance.
@@ratherbwithhorses I wouldn't say they want to see it, it's that what is presented to them are the worst people that bring a bad name to the sport. You could tell BW's owner loved him and lavished attention on him. There are, as with any sport involving animals, the foulest of humanity and it's these people that are put on documentaries and called out as the rule, not the exception.
I'm from England and my first intro to bull riding was seeing JB's ride of Bushwacker and loved it ever since RIP Bushwacker truly awesome !!! 🐮❤
Im Finland ,same thing to me ,indtant love these 2 athletes.
Another beautiful bull ..... Just like Bodacious....will miss a lot in the PBR...
You just think of the greats! Bodacious, little yellow jacket, red rock, Dillinger, chicken on a chain, Woopaa, voodoo child but bushwhacker made them all seem a little more tame that’s only because of his great athleticism
@@shanewoods1980dayumm little yellow jacket was fun to watch I’m gonna watch him right now.
Just called my 87 y.o. friend who use to ride bulls. Bushwacker was one of his favorites. He saw him buck in person several times. He will be talked about as long as there are smart rodeo bulls and determined cowboys. The great ones live forever in our memories. We know he rests in peace!
Rest in peace Bushwacker 😭🤍
He was and forever will be the Goat 🙏
@@faizanmckagan2827 no Bull
🕊️🪽 🐂 🕊️🪽
@@faizanmckagan2827when did he pass. What's the life expectancy of a bucking bull
@@derrickrobinson4519 it was 5th of July if I remember correctly this month. Life span really depends on quality of life. However bushwacker was always treated like a king. He passed away at the age of almost 19 years old.
Dad rode for the PBR in 93-94 best friends with Ty Murray. He still says this is one of the bulls he would dream about in the early days. A true showmen
Bushwacker was a true athlete. Sounds like his passing was very peaceful. RIP.
There are bulls and bull riders and then there is Bushwacker and JB!
It doesn't get any better and worth every penny of the price of a ticket.
Who had the consistency that Bushwacker had? No other bull. What a bull.
I loved how he was all cool in the chute and then come out swinging!! Ledgend 🙏🏾
His legacy is walking on 4 legs and running in their veins. Bushwhacker’s and JB ‘s names will forever be intertwined. Thirteen times he sat down on Bushwhacker. Lucky 13 by the Dragon Slayer. Bushwhacker knew he was a champion and he basked in his glory. Will we ever see another Bushwhacker? Who knows…..Rest easy big boy❤
RIP Bushwacker
Legend, Gentlemen
Rest easy, you are missed And Loved. One in a million Bulls.
Thank you 💛 for sharing
Bushwhacker was the life's work of a great bull trainer.
The Spanish Vaquero is the foundation of the cowboy 🤠.
You can't train a big-bull how to understand & win a Rodeo competition ,,That bull figured it out on his own
@@chadsimmons6347 I don't think you know the story and the bond he had with his handler
Oke thank you guys!! This was realy fascinating to see. I always like a dum dum thought the back rope was the thing that makes them buck.
But he just stands there with the rope on not bothered by it.
It's just triggering kicks when he's out bucking.
Even when he's done and going back through the shoot he's not bothered but proud.
He's just standing waiting ....knowing he wil het a chanse to get you as soon as those doors open.
It seems to be a fair fight.... ❤
There is no such thing as a bull Trainer.. They are bred and born into bucking. They either have it or they don't ..
Hat's off to Kent Cox for taking such great care of him and getting him to all of those events.
RIP To the greatest ever, Everyone will remember the name Bushwhacker
Bodacious was the bull…..everything else was just jokes❤
@@tobycrane1607 yeah, but I think we can all agree that Bushwhacker was the best bull since Bodacious!
@@tobycrane1607Bodacious was Super Dangerous with that neck hump and the way he liked to snap his head. He was a Show all by himself!!
I always loved Bodacious and he was what got me watching. Then I fell for Bushwacker. I will miss the big beast! Happy retirement!
If ya read the video description ( under the video )........ Bushwacker was retired quite some time ago, and sadly, Bushwacker laid down, closed his eyes and passed away on or about July 6th of this year.........only 1 day before this tribute video was posted in his honor. According to the dates, he died only a week ago...........which was only 3 days before you posted your nice comment about him. Bushwacker was 18 yrs old.
@@howabouthetruth2157 thanks. I saw that he had passed just a few days after watching this vid. He deserved a quiet peace after all that bucking and twisting. He was a master!
❤❤❤❤ got to see him buck 3 times! Bushwcker always one of my favorites. Bones, Reindeer and Bushwacker.
U are so lucky. He's the only athlete I ever wanted to meet. Trully the greatest ever... R. I. P 😢❤
@@faizanmckagan2827 I really wish you could have seen him! TV is one thing but seeing him in person was amazing. I wanted to bring him home. 🤣 I ask my Dad if I could buy a straw of his or Reindeer’s and use on our best girl. Dad laughed and said we didn’t have one worthy.
Reindeer sure did sire a champ! Bushwacker will always have a special place in my heart.
@@teresahall4247 that is an awesome story thank you for sharing!... It must been really cool growing up with these kind of animals for u. Yes I do wish I saw him in person!!.. I wish Mr julio Moreno woulda made tons of bushwacker's videos in retirement and shared with us. Now that woulda been something!
From Ireland, loved watching the PBR down the years, RIP legend. Be a long time before one comes along as good.
J.B on Bushwhacker was something special for me growing up. I was raised in NYC, PBR 10 year anniversary at MSG was my first event. Between watching J.B ride, and than seeing the bull bushwhacker, ive been obsessed and following the sport since.
- just watching Bushwhacker preform for the first time ever, just learning of the sport, i knew that bull was special. Bushwhacker left an ever lasting imprint on me and made me a fan for life, as well as J.B too that night of course
I was there that weekend in Tulsa when JB rode him . I dont really follow PBR so I wasn’t aware he’d never been ridden until I watched this video. I reckon I’m a lucky little sh!t.
I’m from Australia and only new to orb bullriding.
I love every minute of it and was so sad to hear Bushwacker passed away.
A truly great athlete! Rest in Peace big boy!
Stunning bull. AMAZING ATHLETE.
Rip Bushwacker 😢 you lived one hell of a life
He definitely was a rockstar!! 🐂💔🕊🙏💋💋💋
As a life long fan of rodeo. It is very cool that we got to witness bushwacker in real time. Thanks to ty, Craig, shorty, and Justin for always making sure we knew what we were seeing was special. His championship battles with asteroid are such fond memories.
A sad day.. RIP dear Bushwacker😢💐
You were loved, admired, respected, and more by Millions of people and will never be forgotten. ❤
Rest easy old bull, enjoy your just rewards.
Thank you Julio!! For sharing that magnificent bull with the world! His power and athleticism thrilled everyone that had the opportunity to witness him!! His greatness can NEVER be taken away from him and he’ll DEFINITELY go into the PBR history books as one of the absolute BEST!
What a sad sad day. Bushwhacker, you will be missed by everyone💔
In my opinion the greatest animal to ever step into the pbr arena! I love everything about bushwhacker, his raw power, his athleticism is unrivalled! Truly one of the best to ever do it! Thank you so much for sharing this.
My 90 year old mom loved Bushwacker. J.B. Mauney was her favorite rider. I love how calm this bull is in the chute and how he stands so nice when he goes behind the scenes. But in the ring, he's explosive!
May he rest peacefully and continue bucking off passed bull riders and grazing in lush green fields with other great bulls❤️
I believe that Bushwacker's breeding was a .major factor in his athleticism, but I also believe that Kent played a huge role in his rise to the top. There was magic in the bond between Kent and Bushwacker. I don't know if that can ever be duplicated.
Bushwacker, the bull who i think ENJOYED being a bucking bull
No he LOVED it!!!!🫠🫠🫠
When your name becomes a 'Verb' (Bushwacked), you know you've become a legend🙌🐂
Beautiful. He is bucking off cowboy angels in heaven.🐂
Rip big guy. ❤️🤍💙
Bushwacker was my favorite bull. Can't believe he's gone. Asteroid is right behind. Rip to my favorite #1 bull.
Best rides I have witnessed were on Bushwacker. What a legacy!
It is an end of an era: The Dovetailing end of careers within the Bull riding arena, Bushwacker and J.B. Mauney within the 2024 year. Long may their high points in their careers reign.
The best bull of all time thank you Bushwacker for the great memories R.I.P
Can't thank you enough for this quick response video PBR since it's only been 3 days since he passed away. ❤..... Bushwacker trully forever will be the greatest beast to ever grace this sport... It's going to be my biggest regret never meeting him in person.. May you forever rest in peace and I also hope you and bodacious are bragging to each other right now about whose the Ali of bulls 😂... U will be missed bushwacker!!!!
I been watching PBR since its exception in the 1992. My father may he rest and myself loved the Bull Bushwacker. And others like Rango ,Astriod , and Smackdown. Those were World Champion Bucking Bulls. But Bushwacker was the best of them all. Rest In Peace Bushwacker. You will be missed.
I saw the ride live. I jumped up about as high as Bushwhacker does when JB rode him. Great bull. Great rider.
Life of a champion RIP Bushwacker!
Es 100por ciento mexicano el rodeo gringo se apropiaron de las costumbres vaqueras mexicanas que lástima para los mexicanos
The entire world of bull riding is going to miss you, rest easy champ.
Bushwacker was the first bull I just fell in love with. Im so sad to see him go :(
There’s some good bulls out there but Bushwhacker is the epitome of bucking bulls … even the emoji for bull 🐂 on my phone looks like him.
I look forward to the one to rival him but still gonna love all those buck offs and rides that made history in PBR.
Appreciate y’all with yuge respect.
I watched all the fathers of these bulls and have some of them as belt buckles because that's how famous they were and it wasn't because they could throw guys off, it was because we all have hearts for animals we call pets and are parents of. They could care less if they are famous as much as the love they deserve from adoring fans. I know Bushwacker crossed the rainbow bridge peacefully and I hope he's kicking some ass up there in the pasture.
Bushwacker we saw you in Albq NM at PBR and will still remember your photo of you and you've been the greatest bull and I'm sure your mom and dad loved you for who you became the world's great bull.
Such a legend. Damn fine bull. RIP!
A phenomenal athlete who had the brains and heart to be the best, and so humble too. He did his best but kept it so professional. A truly amazing bull.
RIP Bushwacker. you will be sorely missed
THE RANKEST BULL
If bodaicous was mj. Bushwhacker was kobe
No💔 we will all remember him❤
Damn, RIP THE BEST TO EVER DO IT!
Sou brasileiro do estado da Paraíba e gosto muito de rodeios, eu assisto os rodeios CRP, BARRETOS e é claro PBR, gostava muito do touro Bushwacker ele fez muita história.
DESCANSE EM PAZ MEU QUERIDO BUSHWACKER🐂🐂.
Thank you for your service Bushwhacker.
Omgosh, the baby pics!!! Squeee!
RIP Bushwacker.😢🙏🙌 Will Always Remember Him
Rip bigg guy I enjoy watching you buck riders off rest easy 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢🐂🐂🐂🐂
The Legend BUSHWHACKER RIP from 🇧🇷
R.I.P. bushwacker you will be remembered
Some would say that Bodacious was the most famous or perhaps _infamous_ . He was retired because he was so dangerous. But Bushwacker was a TOP bull no doubt!
what an amazing tribute absolutely loved it, farewell Bushwacker
Fortunately PBR still televise the riders thanking the good lord.
When I was in elementary school, my moms boss randomly bought tickets to watch bull riding in Anaheim. I got see bush wacker and JB. Crazy how life works
As a friend of ours says .. They don't breed these animals to be like Bushwhacker anymore, sadly. He's the last of a very interesting breed.
Maybe he's not the last. I hear he has a son...
@@Camiken65 ohhh i hope so .. praying that his legacy continues, then
@@Camiken65he’s had plenty of sons but they have all sucked, they have the ability of his but they aren’t as smart and that’s what made him so special.
Bushwacker was on of my favorites. I got to see his a couple times and he was amazing
My second favorite after Bodacious.
It's 50 50 whit me both of those bulls were monsters.
@@alainhernandez8767 mine, too!
Hearing all these Cowboys talking about Bushwacker in such high regards and rereferring to him as an "Athlete" was astonishing. Never thought past the face value of the sport, always thought the bulls were just bucking, realizing how every movement is calculated by the bull just gave me an appreciation for Bushwacker. RIP Bushwacker✊
What’s scary was that how calm Bushwhacker was. Just stood in the chute and just let the riders sit on him. Most riders get a feel how the bull is going to act when it tries to get them off when they first sit on him. But Bushwhacker just stood there, then became a force of explosive energy the millisecond that door opened. He was unpredictable.
❤❤❤s go out to the and riders that have rode him ....blessing to to the owner
I remember my dad telling me this was the bull of bulls in PBR, he also told me about Bodacious. I watched him and I was in awe. RIP Bushwhacker.
20:54 says it all...Im sure many tears were shed today. RIP to the bovine who broke bones and barriers!!!
He deserves his own movie! RIP GOAT!
Rest In Paradise Champ
Bushwaker was an incredible bull! Sending my deepest condolences and prayers 🙏🏻
Bushwhacker is the only athlete I have ever truly cared enough about to wear a t-shirt for.
Pamala McCarty 64 California
Outside of the riders, Bushwhacker was the bull that got me into the sport, after researching and getting into it bones, reindeer, bushwhacker, and now cool whip are the bulls that kept/keep me addicted to the sport.
I was lucky enough to be traveling with my cousin for his pro boxing debut, i was blessed to see Cool Whip break the buckoff record at 43 buckoffs, previously held by BushWhacker at 42. I almost missed my cousins pro debut to see CoolWhip get that 43rd buck off 😂
I bet u guys right now. Bodacious and bushwacker are finally having the debate face to face whose the greatest 😂... For me it's always going to be bushwacker!
Poor lane ain’t got a chance up there with both them up there trying to throw him out of the arena
@@54raceman 😂
RIP champ ❤
So sad he’s gone 😢he’s bucking at heaven with the rest.
RIP Bushwacker may you continue to know even more peace than you had in retirement and rest of your days You were a beautiful bull.
Oh my God….. I’ve seen him a few times… you did good Bushwacker. You did good.
RIP Bushwacker man🐐🕊️
As a former bullrider, he is amazing!
I Just ordered a shirt with his face on it😎💯
"BushWacker" Simply the Best!! Has the Looks, the Bucking and the Character of a Professional!! He Loved it and it showed.
He's a Legend!! Because He had the Charisma that Won over the Whole Arena from his Mauney Ride in Anaheim til his last ride in Vegas.
No Matter what Rider sat on BushWacker the Whole Arena automatically Cheered for BushWacker.
I've often wondered how the Riders felt knowing anytime they "Tried" to ride the BushWacker Nobody was Cheering for Them. 🤣🤣🤣
I Love PBR and catch every Televised show.
However when BushWacker was Retiring I gathered up my nephews, bought them BushWacker t-shirts and took them to see the Bull in Bismark. The only PBR Event I've ever attended was to See and Cheer for "BushWacker"!!!
He was the Complete package!!
RIP. Salute from an Air Force Veteran Fan!! Rest Well Legend ❤❤❤
It's always tough to lose an individual we love of whatever species. I'm glad Bushwacker passed in his own time without needing intervention. It is always kinder on those of us left behind when we don't need to make that most difficult, compassionate decision at the sharp end of caring for our beloved animals. So sorry for your loss, Mr. Moreno and family.
Another one of the Great Bulls joins others on rainbow bridge. R.I.P Bushwacker🐂
That was my favorite bull and cool whip and cool whip broke the most buck offs in the world bulls
Biggest thing to happen to pro bull riding was J.B. and Bushwhacker being around at the same time.
The way Bushwacker just walks back in like, my job here is done. What a smart and beautiful bull. ❤
Bushy the California legend ❤
Bushwacker will be as LEGENDARY as Jim Shoulders and Lane Frost. Rodeo will never forget him. The stories of Bushwacker and his personality are legends ✨️ 👏 🤧 💜
