Title: 2018 Wyoming Rifle Bull 350"
Post by: jdmecomber on November 29, 2018, 08:33:22 PM: I was lucky enough to get this bull on my first day of the hunt. I passed on a smaller 6 and a rag horn. I was looking for a better bull and had a week to try and get one. I shot a bull in this unit a couple years ago on day four, so I was pretty confident in the area. It was a close range shot and he was still bugling when I found him. This was grizzly country and I was by myself. It took me two days to get the meat out. Luckily they didn't find me. This bull has a 45" inside spread with long mains, great mass and g4's. Only about 8" of G3's combined.

I have done it two times in a row, however this year I ran into a hunter that shot and sprayed a bear near me. I might have to rethink this :)

That's neat, picture quality is a little poor on those. Looks pretty wide for sure

Post by: Mr Mykiss on December 04, 2018, 08:45:47 AM: Yeah I was actually trying to kill him, not take a picture of him. I just figured since it was in Wyoming it was the same bull :chuckle: :chuckle:

Post by: firehawk87 on April 11, 2019, 01:06:41 AM: Which unit did you take your bull? Obviously it wasn’t a wilderness unit there since you went solo. Appreciate it.... got me curious as I’m from that neck of the woods

Post by: trophyhunt on April 11, 2019, 06:15:21 AM: Great bull, not sure how you drew again so quickly but I'd keep that a secret. Took me 13 years and 12 points to draw my tag last year, I'll be in an old folks home before I draw again probably. :chuckle: Congrats! You got what I was expecting but mine wasn't even close to that, hell of an experience though being in that country.
