So did your first shot connect?  Sometimes those big bulls when hit dont even act like they are, just curious?

I did hit it on the first two shots. The one to the neck went through the hide and didn't penetrate the meat! must have hit some brush, it must have been one hell of a sucker punch!
The second shot went through the upper hind quarter through the small intestine part where all the arteries are and he was going to bleed out if I would have just waited. If there hadn't been snow it would have been real tuff.
I hit the tree's both shots when he last took off and I ran out of ammo.

ALSO-- this bull had a green left lung, he had been double lunged last year with a 30 cal boattail that was healed up in the ribs. What amazing animals they are.

I didn't get it out till the next morning as I was exhausted when it turned dark. I told my Dad I couldn't do anymore even though we had drug it to within 200 yds of the road.

It is now out at Charlies getting ready for its place in my house where he can laugh at me for ever. :tup:

Thanks for letting me tell the story. I hope you all enjoy the story as much as I did the hunt.

Awesome.  I would frame an enlargement of that second pic with your dad and the bull, and hang it with the mount.  Thanks for a great hunting story!
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

That's one of the greatest hunting stories I've read on here - maybe the best.  Nice job sticking with it; you won't forget that one. 

I'll be laughing about this all day.

Awesome bull and great story.  Great memory to have with your father there.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.

The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.
