Great bull guys! Congrats!

This is what the forum should be all about. Great bull and friends helping *censored* people we don’t know. The internet has created a monster. Both good and bad. I personally have had some amazing success stories from myself and also people I have helped. These guys have helped me:  Huntnphool, lake, Rainer, the list goes on and on. Be nice. Share. And it pays off for all of us in the end. If nothing else… Karma… I shot a magic spike opening day… never would have imagined but it happened. 🤷‍♂️
If you can see it....... you can shoot it.

Thanks everyone, I slapped my wife’s fabric tape measurer on the bull last night (don’t tell my wife, she would be livid!!!). Gross green scored him somewhere between 313-316 inches. His only weakness was his main beams coming In around 43 inches.
