Big bull rifle hunters

I respect that you don't want to post it, but it's too bad.   I think you are robbing him more backs slaps than criticism.  Anyone criticizing anyone for there legal animal isn't worth the air they are breathing anyway.   Tell him congratulations.  My first three Bulls were spikes.  I'm not ashamed.

Ditto on the WE WANNA SEE PHOTOS! We need something to see so we can do some more backslapping, congratulations and celebrating! I know I'd be ecstatic just to have found and shot a bull, whether it's a spike or a monarch bull. He's a lucky young man to have somebody to show him how to call one in, how to pick the good spots. Elk meat is good stuff!

You shouldn't care about the opinion of any POS that would badmouth a kids first bull but I understand and respect your decision. Congrats to the hunter!!!!

How did this turn out?

 

Leaving us hangin like that >:(5

That kid is stoked to have him for sure and we are happy for him.     Theread has all ready been some stupid comments from some stupid people on other social  outlets  and they are members of this forum also. In fact I'm sure their reading this thead   

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

Good for you, don't blame you one bit....

Tell him good job, I've shot a lot of bulls/elk and I shoot the first legal elk I have a tag for in my pocket. Congrats kid. It seems that the first one is the toughest to get.

As for not wanting to show pics, I feel bad that it has come to this. I usually have more of a problem with people asking me what vehicle I drive or trying to pick apart the country in the pics to find out where I hunt. I now take close up pics and I am not in them. Other than that if someone wants to shame him for shooting any bull on an any bull tag, shame on them.

I don't think very many would criticize the kid at all.......as adults knowing how hard it is to get the tag there is a feeling of lost opportunity that the kid will realize once he gets older....It is not his fault at all.....most of the time in trophy situations even seasoned hunters have someone confirming the correct animal gets shot in the heat of the moment. Focus on the positive.

He shot a bull and that is awesome he got to do it with family.
