Title: Popes Quest for a 100" bull begins tomorrow!!
Post by: popeshawnpaul on September 12, 2008, 03:32:39 PM: I'm really going to try and hold out this year for at least a 100" bull. Ah crap, who am I kidding? I will probably just shoot the first cow I see. Hope you all wait on pins and needles to hear if I tag a cow... :chuckle: Well, I'm going to try and find a bull we call "Stumpy" this year. He's not a particularly huge bull, but he's short, fat, and has points coming out where they shouldn't be. To be honest my heart really isn't 100% into it this year without my cousin who just got shipped to Iraq. We'll see...

Post by: cohoho on September 15, 2008, 04:48:35 PM: Struck out on maybe tagging, but had a great time and learned alot... Had some close calls, wind might have gotten us a couple times... As a reminder when Shawn says, "we just have to climb a little hill", check the slope and height first.... :chuckle:
