7x6x2 colorado bull
« on: December 30, 2009, 06:16:18 PM »
I saw this bull on monster muleys .com  Cool bull here is what it said on the mm.com



Here's a crazy bull that Heath Hibbard slammed while hunting in Colorado. The bull actually has three natural antlers, and it does not appear that they were caused by an injury.

Heath writes, "I hunted the 1st rifle season and on opening day didn't see an elk, then got lost in the dark and didn't get back to camp until 10pm. The next day I got up late, so I went for an easy hike close by camp and saw this bull at 8am feeding 300 yards up a steep hill. I laid on my back with my elbows on my knees to shoot and it took 5 shots with my .300 Ultra Mag. to bring down this big old bull."

the mythical Unicorn?

Seriously, 5 shots at 300 yds. with a 300 Ultra Mag??  He was either real shook up, or he needs to learn to shoot better.
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

sounds like a *censored*y shooter, the guys that deserve those things never getum. i wonder if he had to put his beer down before he shot him.

I'd like to see him get in that position and shoot.

Nice bull!! Who cares how many shots it took. The fact is he didn't lose the bull. Comments from "The holier than thou" gallery always amaze me. Grow up!!

What a unique looking bull!  I'm gonna give the guy the benefit of a doubt and say that maybe he is from the school of "elk are tough, keep shooting til you see hooves in the air, then watch for 5 minutes to see if they get up".  I know more than a few old-timers that subscribe to that religion.  I know that's what I was told the first time I went elk hunting when I was a kid, by an old guy that's killed his share of elk.

Nice Bull.      And to everyone calling....*censored*ty shot, How do you know he didn't put the shots where they needed to be? My father is 78 and I guaranty you he would keep shooting till that Bull went down (even if they were all in the boiler room). I can tell you I would shoot him 5 times if it meant I would tag him.  :chuckle: :chuckle:  Congrats to the hunter.

Odd bull for sure... I shoot untill they fall. I shot a 4 point muley at 100 yards 3 times with my 300 win mag and it still ran untill i neck shot it. My first 3 shots were lung shots all within an inch of eachother. I shot untill it dropped. Hope he did the same.

great bull...congrats to the hunter....

IMO - If they don't stay down, shoot again, if you've never had to take more than one shot, it tells me there's a good chance you may not have shot all that many animals. :twocents:

Agreed with most the posts here.... congrats on a helluva bull!  My buddy lose a 330+ bull this year after he 'dropped' it with one shot from his 30-378 (I think thats his rifle, not sure but its HUGE!) at 200 yards and then the bull got up 10 seconds later and ran over the hill... looked for 2 days straight for that bull and never found him...  Keep shooting until you're sure they're dead!  If he would've taken the time to watch the bull for a minute or two in his sights he could've had himself a helluva an elk...

Wow, bunch of one sided my opinion people sometimes, so what he shot it 5 times, the animal is down, it is recovered and we are not reading about a lost or wounded animal, for the ones that said crappy shooter with him shooting it five times would be the first ones to say what a suck hunter he shot it and wounded it and it got away. So sometimes before you voice and opinion sit back and think.

Comment about the beer can is also something an ANTI would categorize us hunters in, thanks for helping them with the stereo type. You were not there, but you just had to slip that in there.

I could go on but hopefully you got the message, think sometimes before you post. A lot of people read these forums, and snide comments make others not want to post about their situation....

I wounder if that bull always had a 3rd antler? Or if it was something new this year? By the way the skull looks, I'd figure the bull has re grown a 3rd antler his whole life. Elk are tough, I would keep shoot'en till I knew he was down for good! Don't want them tasty vittles go'en to waste!

what the hell is the matter with everyone this guy may be the best shot in the world. For some reason he had to lay on his back and put his elbows on his knees and he still killed this bull at 300 yards. I would like to see anyone else make that shot.   :chuckle:

In the brushy, rainy, crowded western washington you better keep shooting as fast as you can until the bull stops moving.   I've had many one shot kills and I've also had one travel for 250 yards before a 4th shot behind the shoulder from a .300 win mag finally dropped it.  Then there was "Old Ironsides" three years ago - 8 shots ( yes 8 ! ) from a .338 Win Mag before it dropped - all less than 100 yards and most were well placed.   Sure it "probably" would of expired soon from any of the shots but maybe at the bottom of a 1/2 mile canyon or at another hunters feet with their tag on it.    Just about the time you think you have the ultimate gun/bullet combo you will run into an "Old Ironsides" that forces you to rewrite the rulebook.
