my muzzy bull
« on: October 01, 2011, 12:18:20 PM »
got up the hill at light this morning with my father in law calling for me. let out a location bugle and a couple cow calls and waited about 15min, nothing. walked 50 yards into the trees and spooked out a spike. cow called at him and he stopped and in came another one, a big spike by 2. let them work out and continued on. got about 300 yards farther in and we split up about 50 yards cow calling back and forth. i heard movement to my left and looked and there were the two spikes again! eastside dream lol. as i was watching them i heard a little bugle about 200 yards out towards my father in law so i walked over there and he bugled again almost on top of us! i snuck down the hill about 15 yards as he walked backwards cow calling and making noise. i looked down the hill trying to find the bull. i then see another spike :bash: i watched him for about a minute then all of a sudden the bull stepped out from behind some little trees 25 yards off. i raised my muzzleloader and put it right between the front shoulders coming straight at me and shot. BULL DOWN! instantly dropped and boy was i happy! ended up being a 6x7, not a bad general westside hunt! thanks for reading!

He's a good looking bull.  Congrats with the patience too.  Dry side would have loved the spikes.

Nice Bull!  Congrats! 
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'.
