Monster bull, congrats.

Just got back sorry so long on the details.  I was hunting near the Blue Mountains.  He was spotted  by my folksfeeding with a cow in the wheat field and they watched him drop into a draw.  I was looking over another heard at the time with 10+ Bulls but nothing over a 4x4.  Loaded up on scent block because the wind was all wrong, and creeped to the edge of the draw.  We spotted him at 150 yards laying straignt away looking down the draw.  I have a bi-pod so I dropped the legs and after a couple of minutes of shaking I took the shot and hit him at the base of the neck.  The first hit rolled him over, I reloaded and thought he was going to stay down, but he got up and started to walk away.  I missed the second shot but he did a 180 and came at me at an angle, then he stopped on a old logging road and looked at me just as I was finnishing reloading and I hit him just above the heart and he went over hard and stayed down.  We pulled him down the road for about 150 feet after gutting him then used a 4 wheeler to pull him down to as far as we could drive the truck up the road.  I had a ton of help from my cousin and my folks.
