I actually had this bull in 3 different camera locations, been  tracking him since late June/early July.

Awesome! Was this the bull that you thought we both were getting on our cameras?

Thanks guys, pretty stoked.

Yes, that's him.

Sweeeet! Congratulations, that's awesome to have tracked him all summer. You said that you weren't seeing much rutting activity, think it is just late this year?

Not sure what the deal is. It's been warm almost every morning, I'm guessing that's what's holding them up.

Here's some pics of him from 2 of the 3 spots, I think I put the card with him at the 3rd and most recent spot back in one of my cameras.  I have pictures and video of him two days before season, just chilling alone.

grats nice bull! and your first too Nice.
"When my bow falls, so shall the world. When me heart ceases to pump blood to my body, it will all come crashing down. As a hunter, we are bound by duty, nay, bound by our very soul to this world. When a hunter dies we feel it, we sense it, and the world trembles with sorrow. When I die, so shall the world, from the shock of loosing such a great part of ones soul." Ezekiel, Okeanos Hunter
