what a dandy but am I the only one noticing the shot placement  :yike:. I would have been very worried when that arrow entered.

That is a heart shot.  His leg has two joints.  Right above the first joint is his heart.  The bone goes forward from just below the wound.  Perfect shot.

I can tell you based that he tracked that bull for over five hours it wasn't a heart shot. Not to mention many know this bull he isn't/wasn't a secret. I won't go into any other details as those are the facts I know, I know more as well but none of my business to give a story on the hunt, that's his business to tell.

 I heard southwest. And only a couple miles in.
What would life be without the thrill of the hunt?

Who cares where he shot it. Bull of a lifetime. At least he shared or someone did. Good job.  Shot placement was good. He found it and it was dead. Everyone is quick to judge. Until your in that position no judging. Jealousy is a horrible.  Go get em boys few days left.

I would love to hear the story.  shot placement looks good but you never know with a big old bull like that.  tough critters.

It was found dead after a second arrow and tracking for five hours.  There is no jealously on this end, it's a great animal that was harvested by a hunter. All I was addressing was the question of a bad shot, which, happens with everyone at some point.  The initial shot resulted in a five hour track.  Is that good? Hell I guess it's all ones opinion.

As far as location, southwest, northwest a few miles in...10 miles in on the road...people I'm sure will figure it out eventually and shouldn't surprise anyone.

If it gets entered into any competition, I think they require the county it was shot in.

Odds are it won't be entered into any competitions.
