my bud got a good 5x5 down.....
« on: September 17, 2009, 08:25:23 AM »
Sorry guys waiting on the story just pics for now.
i believe he shot this boy west side on Monday evening.
stay tuned of updates.

************UPDATE***************

From A FACEBOOK message my buddy wrote me just now
QUOTE:

"I was going on about 70 hours in the stand between 2 different spots. I climbed up in my stand at 4.30am and waited till light and started calling with the hoochie and about 7.00am I had a bull come in but wouldn't come out of the thicket. He played back there for about a half hour and left I was pretty tired so I thought I would give another couple hours and go home.

So at 7.45am I hit the call pretty hard and fifteen minutes later I heard a pop to my right, so I slowly spun around in the stand and saw him coming in with his nose to the ground I didn't have much time so I drew sitting down waited for him to angle around a bit and sent it. It blew though his shoulder and took out both lungs and the liver. It was awesome. I gave him 30 minutes and started tracking, he didn't go but 60 yards and was dead.

Funny thing is I had a big black bear walk in on the some trail the night before, but he pegged me drawing back on him. That's to bad he was a great lookin bear he woulda looked good on my wall."

I have an idea where. I shot a bull in the past that has that same antler growth, could just be coincidence but sure looks similar. I'm guessing somewhere in pierce county??? I not looking for the answer trust me, i don't want people hunting there either.

you should have your buddy sign up and tell us the story.
good looking bull. looks like his antlers got twisted up in his head.
i'm gonna guess it's not from pierce county.
