Good story and great bull.  Good timing on an early/late story to get us all fired up.

Awesome bull! And even better story. Love the ups and downs. It seems these days many leave out the downs of the hunt, but very few hunts are successful without trials and tribulations. Way to stay at it and get it done.

Awesome bull, great story. After reading enough about these bull in the rut hunts, it sounds like one of the most exciting hunts one could do. Calling them in, bull screaming in your face, not knowing you're there, and then wack!

Question: Is it kinda scary having a bull come at you?

I know from my last archery kill that a bull facing directly at you at 25 yards in the timber, ripping off a bugle, rings the ears! For me, its not really scary but it does give you the chills when you get an encounter that close. I think its like having a loud crash of thunder where its not quite scary but impressive
