Title: 2004 Spike bull
Post by: johnnyaustin44 on August 01, 2013, 01:38:08 PM: Figured i'd throw this picture up. My second spike and by far the biggest. Think i was 14 at the time. First time hunting off on my own and i'm sure my dad freaked out when he heard me shooting.

Post by: johnnyaustin44 on August 07, 2013, 01:29:37 PM: That was the first shot. Second was an inch left of the first and he fell. Third was back of the head after he went down. Shoot til he drops is how I hunt. And fortunately he dropped after the second cause another 20 yards and some other guy was right there. East side elk hunting for ya.
