Big Bull Down.....
« on: September 17, 2018, 10:25:46 AM »
It's every hunters hope to draw a bull tag and for my son, age 12 his hopes and dreams came early after putting in for a couple years.  After a few hunting trips he finally got within a comfortable shooing range of 200 yards to put a one shot placement on this bull dropping it within his tracks.  It was a great spot and stalk hunt that proved his patience as there were opportunities to shoot at a farther distance but he owed it to the animal to make a shot he knows he can make with his .270  Freezer is filled up and now it's onto some deer hunting.

Great looking bull.
Congrats to you both.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.
