Been trying to post this and pics since late last night. Now I'm up to take my 9 yr old daughter on her first deer hunt.
Here ya go, not the best pics but it's what I have on my phone.
My Dad and Brother absolutely busted our ass off for this bull. 15 days, 90+ boots miles I wasn't going to pass this one after only seeing 5 bulls the entire hunt. Spotted him at 530 yards and went up a clear cut to get a better rest and shot him at 556 yards with my brand new Hell's Canyon Armory 7SAUM.
Not the biggest bull and not an archery bull like I wanted but I can honestly say I absolutely earned this one. Thanks everyone who give me advice and helped me out along this journey.
Just put the tape on him, 50 1/4 wide.

I am very happy that you got a bull and stuck it out. Good luck on the deer hunt. Sounds like you sure put in some work.

I'm curious on the potential bullet failure on the other bull you shot.  I didn't see the full story before it was deleted.
I plan to do a lot of projectile testing reloads this coming up year with the main objective being good quality hunting rounds.
