Post by: bolsen on September 05, 2012, 05:31:36 AM: Not a monster but a good archery bull. Been keeping an eye on him the last month or so. He wouldnt come in to any calls. He just dld the usual herd bull move and would hang up at 80 yards and bugle. He finally walked over a ridge after his cows so i bugled and ran right at him, hid behind a stump and he came right to me. Shuttle t smoked him at 20 yards, he ran 20 yards and fell over.
