2010 muzzle loader bull
« on: September 17, 2012, 08:40:43 PM »
2010 Observatory muzzle loader tag. I shot this bull on the 7th day of a 10 day hunt at 46 yards. He scored 366 2/8 gross after drying. Even with a complete pass through both lungs he went 150 yards without dropping any blood,  shot was mid body and he only blead on the inside. Great hunt with lots of excitement.

Alway like to ask, thanks. I started with the lead powerbelts. Never had much luck with them. Once they switched us to the copper/etc bullets. They became a better choice. Oh and welcome to the site!

There are some nice animals in the Observatory area.  Called in a few nice bulls.
That's a monster...nice bull.
If you love something you will set it free, if it don't come home, hunt it down and kill it.

Welcome to the site. Bagging a monster like that, you can probably contribute a lot to those of us who are always looking for tips and education. Thanks for sharing. :tup:

Better take the bluester. Might find out he gave permission to himself. Would not be the first time.  ;) Tim's bull is actually bigger in person than the picture looks. Great job.

Here is a picture for you. That bluester flying down the taneum creek road headed towards 1-90 doing about 60, dust flying, hubcaps rolling into the ditch, Mcdonalds bags flying out the back window, coke cans scattered on the blacktop and a big peaches ridge bull stuffed into the back ( whole of course)! :chuckle:

I haven't had a bull on my game came in well over a month on that property now so it would be a waist of time anyways. I've also hunted it for the last 2 weekend's and haven't seen a elk there all up higher because this heat
work hard but hunt harder

I can see it plain as day Link! Head bouncing up and down on the highway as it is only half tied on, ungutted and as he exits into cle elum for lunch with his posse the right front tire flies off and totals a small car which then causes the bull to fly off the other way and smash through the front window of the game wardens rig. The he just stands there with a big grin shaking his head not believing his "bad luck"  :dunno:

You know people may be reading this and laughing at our "yarn". Little do they know that it could very well be closer to reality than a story!  I'm sure his insurance would cover all damages.  :chuckle:

Yeah proper insurance has always been something he counted on. A real stickler on all rules and regs. Hope he gets lucky. All this teasing might bring him some good karma.  ;)
