It takes them a while to set everything up, get the group into position, and arrange for the flight, in such a way the rest of the party can still strike the bulette, when it appears. Once he does, though, he's rewarded for his efforts in less than ten minutes, when the enormous 'land shark', MUCH bigger than any he's read stories about, bursts free from the surface of the earth, its cavernous, toothy maw looking like a massive void beneath him, as it stops only about ten or fifteen feet short of him, before crashing back to the ground with a thunderous boom. The party's attacks are remarkably effective against it, despite their general lack of expertise with ranged weaponry... but that only seems to make the monster mad, as it shrugs off the blows, and dives back beneath the ground, at the earliest opportunity.
