My 2014 Bull
« on: November 13, 2014, 08:53:51 PM »
My 2014 Bull is a 5x5.  He's a Roosevelt and came out of SW Washington.  Our group of 8 hunters did pretty well this season.  All together our camp got a cow (hunter had drawn a permit), 2 5x5’s, and a 6x6.  I can’t complain at all about this season.  We experienced everything from driving wind and rainstorms to t-shirt days.  This bull was put down in a brushy hole as I caught him moving across an opening.  He was about 30ft from freedom when I pulled the trigger.  He immediately did a 180 and went out of sight.  I could tell he was hit hard.  Later found to be piled up about 20 yards downhill.  The shot went in through the front shoulder taking out the top of the heart and one lung with the bullet found under the hide on the opposite side.  A pretty clean kill.  He now resides in my freezer.
