Is this bull big enough?

[JPhelps]

Here is a bull I tried killing yesterday.  Got within 20 yds of him 4 times but couldn't get the camera right or the brush was too thick.
That's alright because that means I still have a tag in my pocket.

9/7/12 Big Bull

[HHPro]

How did you get so close with that loud music going

[boneaddict]

I think you can kill bigger.

[SemperFidelis97]

He's a shooter for sure.  Hunting on the wetside has its own unique challenges, I had the same problem on opening day with a nice bull.  Went after him again this morning, and he hung up at 100yrs, or so I couldn't get him to do anything, but chuckle then he lost interest.

[BOWHUNTER45]

Yeah he could ,,,,but fresh back straps ,thats hard to turn down 

[boneaddict]

Big bulls have bigger backstraps

[JPhelps]

This bull has one of the biggest bodies I have ever seen.    I have hunted around here for 15 years and in this general area there are VERY FEW bulls bigger.

Was it weird that when he was at 22 yds I was actually thinking how heavy the packs would be

Yes, that is a bit odd. You should only think about that after you have a bull down. Especially when you're a young guy like yourself.

[JPhelps]

Corey, Sweet Deal.  Can't wait to BS you and hear the story.  I have always said the 10th is when the rut seems to start full swing around here.

We found an even bigger bull tonight.  Time to put together a game plan to kill him.

[Elkpiss]

and why didnt you kill that bull in that video? i see a shooting lane and if that was 20 yards it wouldnt have been a bad shot according to your vid if that was 20 yards?  Be agressive my friend be agressive!.... 

[PlateauNDN]

Nice, sounds like thers going to be some good stories to read and pics to drool over, go get'em gentlemen.

[carpsniperg2]

I would let the air out of him. I am horn poor on elk so any bull would do for me!

Why do you need the camera right to kill him?  Just shoot him already and take pics/film later. 

[JPhelps]

That video was taken when he was 100 yds away.

The video needs to be professional quality. Working on a new venture with the video

Well, you're showing more restraint than I'm capable of.    Will be looking forward to seeing the "new venture". 

[JPhelps]

Does anyone have a guess on score?

[awallfishnhunt]

328

[splitshot]

that might be a bit high.  shoot him and find out.  did those phelps calls work to get him in close?  mikew

[bowjunkie]

 

[JPhelps]

I tried.  Got locked out for fire danger the next day.

I was thinking 250-260ish.
