Bushwacker

Bushwacker, the three-time World Champion Bull, is the 2016 recipient of the Brand of Honor, which is awarded to a bull for his exemplary performance throughout his career. “It is awesome to be able to retire him and all of a sudden he can come back in there and win,” Julio Moreno said. “He has accomplished everything now in this sport. Hopefully, (his late handler) Kent Cox is smiling about it.” Bushwacker’s record speaks for itself. He bucked off 64 of his 66 opponents in six years on the BFTS, and dumped 84 of his 87 foes since his first out in 2009. He won World Championships in 2011, 2013 and 2014 to join Little Yellow Jacket as the only three time World Champion Bulls. Then, of course, there were the 42 consecutive buckoffs on the Built Ford Tough Series – a PBR record – until J.B. Mauney’s historic 95.25-point ride in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in August 2013. Bushwacker and Little Yellow Jacket are the only three-time World Champion Bulls.
