Really cool find!

Yeah, cause a white dude would have hit his target, amiright?

Don't be like that.

I don’t think he was talking about accuracy. I think he said that because natives are the only one that have any opportunity in the state anymore so it probably is a 99% chance it was natives since 99% of the branch antler bulls killed up there are by natives.

Post by: Twispriver on May 03, 2025, 12:50:59 PM: Just prior to the shot that guy was probably bragging to his buddies about how he could hit the twelve inch gong ten times in ten tries at eight hundred yards. :yike:

Post by: mr.ktm95 on May 04, 2025, 06:42:22 PM: I got a bull that looked like it may have been shot in the horns as well. Chipped it away but didnt break much luckily

Post by: RightPlace-RightTime on May 05, 2025, 07:35:26 PM: To know the story and stories right. Just so curious.
My buddy found these sheds. Came back to camp with the biggest smile/grin. Very unique for sure.
