Bushwacker (bull)

Bushwacker (born in 2006) is a three-time Professional Bull Riders (PBR) "World Champion Bull", 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. It started after being ridden by Thiago Paguioto, and after that, no one would stay on him again until August 2013, when J.B. Mauney was finally successful in riding him after nine previous tries.[4] Bushwacker was retired from competition in October 2014 after winning his third World Champion Bull title.[5]
