52.5" wide WY bull (Video Added)
« on: October 08, 2013, 07:45:43 PM »
My dad has passed up over 50 bulls this year a few of the same caliber earlier on in the season Not as wide as this bull but would have scored in the same range.He had a 375-380 bull he was really wanting but after the storm we couldnt find him and rumor has it he was killed. My fiancé shot her buck on Saturday( http://hunting-washington.com/smf/index.php/topic,136127.0.html ) and we had a late night packing him out and didn't get back to town until around midnight So understandably we didnt get up and out of the house tell around 5 and with over an hour drive to the area we just planned on spotting them headed to bed. shortly after daylight I found a couple herds of elk headed out of the low lands headed for tree cover so we made a stalk and dad passed the 2 bulls in the heard they were between 310-330". Around Mid Day I spotted this bull way down low with about 40 cows bedded in a draw we were able to park 2.5 miles from him and move In. Our target ridge I wanted to get to was about 1000 yards from the elk so we could finalize our plan of the stock after getting to it and coming up with a plan we headed for another ridge as we came over the elk were @ 250 yards so dad laid down and waited for the bull to come over when he did he recieved a 180 gr berger to the shoulder!   Where we finally killed this bull he was closer to bring him out the bottom so a phone call to my best buddy got us a ride out and a 2.5 mile pack back up cut down to 1.75 miles down and a ride around to our truck that was a 30 min drive first pic is the bull my dad chased all archery season

Nice work. A buddy of mine guides in the Washakie wilderness and got 30 inches of snow overnight last week... Definitely a heck of a storm you guys had.
