Special experience, awesome bull!
People get offended at nothing at all. So, speak your mind and be unapologetic.

Awesome story and pics. Grats and great Bull.
"When my bow falls, so shall the world. When me heart ceases to pump blood to my body, it will all come crashing down. As a hunter, we are bound by duty, nay, bound by our very soul to this world. When a hunter dies we feel it, we sense it, and the world trembles with sorrow. When I die, so shall the world, from the shock of loosing such a great part of ones soul." Ezekiel, Okeanos Hunter

Love it!!!  Especially with Dad!!

On a side note, A good taxidermist can fix that lost front for you with no problem.  If you need a good taxidermist, just PM me.  I have a great guy here in the Tri-Cities that does fantastic work and is much faster than most.  A true artist and I have over 10 mounts that he has done for me if you want to see his work.

Dvolmer, I’ll keep that in mind. The euro is ready to be picked up at northwest taxidermy in post falls.

Great hunt congratulations! And I agree with the comment about the fat. I don't think bulls and bucks eat much when they go through the rut. I remember reading somewhere that they lose a ton of weight in their frenzy to breed.

344 3/8” if he still had his eye guard (assuming same size - it was actually longer). 329 5/8” as he sits. Official score 304 3/8” (subtracting out difference between antlers)
