2018 Wyoming Rifle Bull 350"
« on: November 29, 2018, 08:33:22 PM »
I was lucky enough to get this bull on my first day of the hunt.  I passed on a smaller 6 and a rag horn.  I was looking for a better bull and had a week to try and get one.  I shot a bull in this unit a couple years ago on day four, so I was pretty confident in the area.  It was a close range shot and he was still bugling when I found him.  This was grizzly country and I was by myself. It took me two days to get the meat out.  Luckily they didn't find me.  This bull has a 45" inside spread with long mains, great mass and g4's.  Only about 8" of G3's combined.

I have done it two times in a row, however this year I ran into a hunter that shot and sprayed a bear near me.  I might have to rethink this  :)

Awesome Bull!! Saving up my point's for when I can go do a hunt like this. I too like going solo, but not sure I'm as brave as you.

Sweet bull!! Crazy, I went on a photo safari in Wyoming and thought this one was really wide and had short thirds...

That's neat, picture quality is a little poor on those.  Looks pretty wide for sure

Yeah I was actually trying to kill him, not take a picture of him. I just figured since it was in Wyoming it was the same bull :chuckle: :chuckle:

Which unit did you take your bull? Obviously it wasn’t a wilderness unit there since you went solo. Appreciate it.... got me curious as I’m from that neck of the woods
But love of the wilderness is more than a hunger for what is always beyond reach; it is also an expression of loyalty to the earth which bore us and sustains us, the only home we shall ever know, the only paradise we ever need - if only we had eyes to see.

Great bull, not sure how you drew again so quickly but I'd keep that a secret.  Took me 13 years and 12 points to draw my tag last year, I'll be in an old folks home before I draw again probably.  :chuckle: Congrats!  You got what I was expecting but mine wasn't even close to that, hell of an experience though being in that country.
