  I remember being in complete shock, it was quite a feeling, but I must say drawing a sheep tag was even worse, I thought my heart was going to jump out of my chest and I had trouble thinking clearly for sometime after I had initially checked. Still have problems sleeping, matter of fact its getting worse by the day.

Nice Bull.  I'd be happy to tag that one.  When I get a tag in 20-25 years maybe I can find his great-great-grandson.  :chuckle:

Without being able to see his fronts, can't say if I would have shot him last year or not.  Dang nice bull and should have split brows, but if not then nope, he'd have gotten a pass.
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.

If he has forked fronts I would probably shoot. I am a sucker for moose paddles with long points. I know they don't help to score a lot but i like them better then rounded off paddles or ones with little nubs.

Good looking bull.

let me weigh in.  I have a tag and yeah I would shoot that bull and you would hear me across the state.  I like the width of the paddels - the expresson of the points, it looks like on the one side he has forks.  May not have super width - but he has plenty of character and is great bull.  And packing the meat - I have an army that is a call away...

Did see a mention of where this dude is at...   any hints????

Slayer, nice bull.  Does he need a Selkirk tag for an ear-ring?  I have one I would let him have.
