Title: Goose Praire 08 Bull
Post by: Bru14 on November 16, 2008, 11:35:30 AM: Here is my bull I took in 2008, hunted my ass off for 2 weeks, missed a big 6 point earlier in the season and got this guy on the last day of the hunt mid day. 3 years in a row taking my elk, but been waiting since i was 12 for the big bull tag and for sure didn't want to eat my tag. There were 2 other bulls with this guy, a spike and a 6x6, this 4x4 was the first to come off the hill and shoot it was the last day and I dumped him.

I got a crack at him the 2nd tuesday of the hunt and shot right over him, man was I pissed.. Oh well still filled my tag..... Got a great trail cam pic of him tho......

Post by: Bru14 on November 16, 2008, 02:59:04 PM: The nile, never really hunt the bumping

good to see people filling their tags in there. I had that for archery and wasn't able to fill it. Did see a bull that looks really similar to that one that is on your trail cam. did you see many other people filling bull tags?

Post by: Mtn Hunter on November 17, 2008, 07:30:23 PM: Nice Bull!
Sounds exactly like my story...I missed a seven point and after a few tears found a 5 point to take home with me.
That is awesome elk country to hunt!
Enjoy those steaks!
