Big bull rifle hunters

Good luck to all of the guys who drew a quality  rifle bull tag!  I am heading up tomorrow after work for a week of calling bulls for my snot knose punk of a nephew  who managed to draw one of the coveted Cowiche rifle Rut tags at only 14 years old

Well the hunt didn't turn out quite  like we had hoped.  Opening day  we looked at 11 bulls but nothing that would break the 300 inch minimum we were looking for,  Saturday the elk were  somewhere else and  the morning waso slow, that evening we located the bull we were after and put a play on  him.  My nephew took his shot but missed the bull.  We spent the next morning making positive that it was  in fact a miss.   That evening we moved back to where we started and  tried locating a bull,  we got a reply from a good bull and started working on him, he was big and definitely  in charge of that hill side it was very exciting to say the least.  Bugle buster  had him coming right in when the kids whispered to hisee dad " I see an elk "  and his reply was " if it's the bull shoot him!"  From 40 yards behind them we couldn't see any of the action but we did watch my nephew  move his rifle 30 degrees to the right and  immediately  take a shot.  There was some confusion because the bull we were calling to was still on the hill above us .  We ran up to my nephew to give hugs and high fives and to lay eyes on his bull which he made a fantastic heart shot on at a mere 25 feet.  It was a small satellite  bull who had snuck in on the calling  completely silent,   I will not be posting any pictures of the bull or my nephew on this forum due to the few bad people  on here who can't just be happy to for a kid who shot his first bull but would rather  talk about a  wasted quality  tag

I'm sorry you feel there are people that would ridicule your nephew for shooting his first bull.  Congratulations to your family for a great hunt!

Glad to hear he got his first bull, I can tell you he will always remember the hunt. I shot my 1st bull at 10 years old, 46 years ago. I can tell you every detail of that hunt today. Any bull taken with family is a Quality Bull.

I've seen the bull. That kids face made it a trophy if you ask me.

 Every bull is a quality bull Way too much emphisis put on scores. If the kid is happy with it, thats all that should matter. If the kid isn't happy most likely it is other's expectations that put that in his head.
 In 'o7 I burned a margret bull tag on a spike ate just as well as the three rag horns I passed on. Got stopped by the gamie on the way home. Officer Foster asked "What couldn't you have found anything bigger?" . Not his job to police quality, and the tag said any bull
