Here's a crazy bull that Heath Hibbard slammed while hunting in Colorado. The bull actually has three natural antlers, and it does not appear that they were caused by an injury.
Heath writes, "I hunted the 1st rifle season and on opening day didn't see an elk, then got lost in the dark and didn't get back to camp until 10pm. The next day I got up late, so I went for an easy hike close by camp and saw this bull at 8am feeding 300 yards up a steep hill. I laid on my back with my elbows on my knees to shoot and it took 5 shots with my .300 Ultra Mag. to bring down this big old bull."

Seriously, 5 shots at 300 yds. with a 300 Ultra Mag?? He was either real shook up, or he needs to learn to shoot better.

I'd like to see him get in that position and shoot.

IMO - If they don't stay down, shoot again, if you've never had to take more than one shot, it tells me there's a good chance you may not have shot all that many animals. :twocents:

Comment about the beer can is also something an ANTI would categorize us hunters in, thanks for helping them with the stereo type. You were not there, but you just had to slip that in there.
I could go on but hopefully you got the message, think sometimes before you post. A lot of people read these forums, and snide comments make others not want to post about their situation....

Wow, bunch of one sided my opinion people sometimes, so what he shot it 5 times, the animal is down, it is recovered and we are not reading about a lost or wounded animal, for the ones that said crappy shooter with him shooting it five times would be the first ones to say what a suck hunter he shot it and wounded it and it got away. So sometimes before you voice and opinion sit back and think.

BLKBEAR u got it right on the money, couldn't have said it better myself, seems like everytime somebody posts an animal being down, there's always peeps criticizing in some way, get outta here with that!
That's why I just post pics and bare bones stories, not that I've done anything illegal or unethical, but people on this site tend to armchair hunt a lot.
