*Westside 9x6 Big Bull Down-Story with pics and video*

[MagKarl]

I've been waiting for the day when you'd be posting your own kill and thought this was the one.  Dang, what a close call.  Hang in there man, some of us just aren't very lucky.  Your day will come and I can't wait to hear about it.

great bull, thats what I hate about muzzy hunting all the hard work and time spent then click , I know that musket caps are better candle wax grease all the bs , I've had it happen to me , i unload every day try all the tricks , i dpnt get why the state dosn't allow 209 ignition and a scope , It seems to me that there would be less wounded animals and it may get a bit of rifle preasure off. btw you are a good buddie .

Congratulations, that thing is a brute.  I've shot a similar one many times only to wake up and  cause it wasn't real!

Awesome monster bull!  I love the 11th hour score.  It's the best of all, provides memories for years to come.

Its a long story, but in short i will say that i still have my tag left for late season.  The bullet that killed this bull didn't come from my muzzyloader.

 "CLICK" no boom for me.  
So i told my buddy to take him and tag him. He owes me.
Half meat to me and we trade off head hanging.

This is definately a 50/50 bull.
time for bed. more pics tomorrow.

Maybe I misundersand, but if you told your buddy to take him, why did you not just reach over and grab his gun?? Any ways real nice bull. Looking forward to seeing yours in the late season.

After the bull heard the sound of my "CLICK"  he looked up at both of us and started to trot off.
So i attempted to stop him and said "take him, take him". I just new we wouldnt get a second chance at this giant.
My buddy put it threw both lungs, he went about 85 yards and piled up. My buddy only had a muzzy tag and i still have a general tag, a late muzzy tag and a late archery tag.
I am still on a high even this morning.

wow that is a great bull  and all in tennie shoes You guys are animals 

[bow4elk]

Wow - what a bull!  If you want to haul that rack down to Olympia, I'd love to green score him sooner or officially measure him for the books after the 60 days drying time.  Let me know.

Backwoods, I thought this was your bull and I was really stoked for you.  Seeing it was not your trigger that produced such a memory isn't all that important in the end - it's being there and being part of the hunt that matters most.  Congrats to you guys on a phenomenal bull!!  Shared success is just as sweet, and you still have a tag!  Good luck!

That's why they call it a "primitive" hunt.     If you want modern components, hunt modern rifle.  It's part of the challenge.

Awesome bull by the way!
