Title: Lets see some observatory bucks and bulls!
Post by: Sigmanu262 on June 24, 2013, 06:47:04 PM
I just got a couple of cams set this last weekend to try to get some bruisers on film before the archery bull hunt this year. I want to see some monsters :)

I saw a 7x7 bull in the Observatory during the 2011 muzzy season that I'm still losing sleep over.

2011 Observatory Bull. "Sled" tied this one to a tree for me😉. I just backed off 302 yards and smacked him with my 450 Ultra Magnum.

Saw a lot bigger, don't take me wrong, it is a very nice bull and I would never pass on it either. We called a 7 point in to 40 yards and my dad had 3 musket caps miss fire   :bash: man that was hard seeing that bull so close and not hearing the gun go off. After we left we tryed shooting the gun one last time and sure enough the gun went off :'(

I saw a 7x7 bull in the Observatory during the 2011 muzzy season that I'm still losing sleep over.
maybe keep your finger off the trigger for more than a minute. Or at least tell Jon to.

We spent the first couple days of the season last year in that basin where all the action was in 2011 and only saw deer.  Made our way over to the basin below our 2011 camp on the 3rd day and found them

Was The 7X Club Bull Off The Hutchins Rd?  I Saw One A Few Years Ago That Had Horns Going Up Like A Spike Then At The ToP It Was Like A Moose Palm On ToP.  I Posted Trail CaM Pics Of him.
