lol I didn't know Don was on the site. It's final score was 398, greened over 400.

I tried several days to photograph that bull live. What a pain. I had him close with two archery hunters, one on each side hoping he'd go their way, but nope.
bummer :chuckle:

I had it scored B&C Dec. 2nd and the final score was non-typical 393 5/8 net. Gross was 406 and change. 13 or 14 inches in deduction. The standing WA Blackpowder record is 393 1/8. SO.. my 1/2" beats the standing record as I am told. This is my "bull of a lifetime" anyway I look at it. Still really hasn't sunk in.

I know of two legit 400" bulls killed but I can't say where. I'll just say it wasn't the blues. there were a couple that were real close but I haven't heard of any 400's from the blues.
That's because there are no more 400" bulls left in the Blues. They all left. Everyone should start putting in for tags in other units... :chuckle:

The Muzzleloader that you made looks like a toothpick laying on those heavy G-2s!! I guess I was pretty close when I rough measured him in front of my shop. Didn't I come up with 406 and change (gross) also? Man what an incredible bull!

Post by: nailbender on August 23, 2011, 10:37:49 AM
Yeah that is a nice bull... and even better that I made him pass on a 340's bull seconds before at like 40 yards... when he was ready to shoot I said no no no wait ... "nailbender says what the F**k you mean don't shoot!!!" I say shoot the one below us.... He is bigger... Little did we know he was this big... Great hunt and will remember it for years...
And it was a sweet shot and even got it on video! This year its the wifes turn to break into the BC club....
Yes it is her turn...!!
