Bushwacker (bull)

Bushwacker (2006 - ) is a three-time Professional Bull Riders (PBR) "Bull of the Year", winning the title in 2011, 2013, and 2014. His three titles match the record established a decade earlier by Little Yellow Jacket from 2002-2004.[1][2] He has been referred to as the "Michael Jordan of Bulls."[3] His notoriety was cemented during a PBR-record streak of 42 consecutive buckoffs between November 2009 and August 2013, when J.B. Mauney was finally successful in riding him after eight previous tries.[4] Bushwacker was retired from competition in October 2014.[5]
