Title: The Blue Mountains strike again.....
Post by: jackelope on December 26, 2013, 05:24:18 PM
This bull was killed in the Blues this year on a muzzleloader special permit hunt in October. I was asked to post some pictures and a brief story of the hunt by the hunter. This bull was killed on day 3 of the hunt. On the 2nd evening this bull and his cows were chased out of some timber by a pack of 3 wolves, which allowed the hunter to know where he was hanging out. They went back in the next day and were fortunate enough to make a clean 1 shot kill on this beast. He was just officially scored 399 3/8 gross and 375 3/8 net B&C. Lastly, I was asked to not share the location of the bull so I'm not going to. If you happen to know the location where the bull was killed, please keep it to yourself out of respect for the hunter. He has the best intentions in mind by keeping it on the hush hush.

Enjoy and congrats, man. You put your time in and earned this guy.

What an awesome bull. Just shows how huge a bull has to be to break that 400 mark. It makes a guy say hmmmm about some of the bulls posted that are supposed 400 plus. I wanted to see that bull on the hoof and they killed it the day I drove over to look . Congrats to the hunter and all involved its a bull of a lifetime. nwhunter

My Grandparents live bordering Suncadia, I remember before the Golf Course you could drive through there any time of the year and see a TON of Elk and Deer, see hardly any compared now compared to 10 years ago.

We used to jump big Mulies off the coal piles back when I was little too. Still see three or four good bucks pretty regularly in my Grandmas garden...too bad  I can't shoot em!

Thank you for the comments guys. It was the hunt of my life, I did miss a 340 class Bull and a good buddy that was with me on the hunt said he would not hunt with me again if shot that baby (He had seen my bull one week prior) so I decided from that day on, that I would pass on the 340 bull and a two other 280 class bulls.
The night we watched the Wolves chase my Bull my partner and I had just blown our first stalk on him, I will never forget watching him round up his cows and leave. Luckily he and his 30 or so cows came back to the same canyon that we found them in.
There are two guys that played a huge part in my success, JD and HS thank you for your help and Jackelope thanks for the inspiration. It makes it easy to hold out when you have trail cam picks like that.
-Matt

Thank you for the comments guys. It was the hunt of my life, I did miss a 340 class Bull and a good buddy that was with me on the hunt said he would not hunt with me again if shot that baby (He had seen my bull one week prior) so I decided from that day on, that I would pass on the 340 bull and a two other 280 class bulls.
The night we watched the Wolves chase my Bull my partner and I had just blown our first stalk on him, I will never forget watching him round up his cows and leave. Luckily he and his 30 or so cows came back to the same canyon that we found them in.
There are two guys that played a huge part in my success, JD and HS thank you for your help and Jackelope thanks for the inspiration. It makes it easy to hold out when you have trail cam picks like that.

Congrats Matt, but why did it take you 3 years to post your story? :chuckle:

JD is on a hell of a roll this year. A few shy of 1200" of elk antlers on 3 bulls he's been a part of this year.

Awesome bull Matt!  Was even more impressive in person. What was the SCI score again?

Great bull Matt, that text you got a couple weeks ago from Chad about your bull I was the guy he was talking to.  You did great by that tag, and you could not ask for a better bunch of guys to help you out either.
