Title: Would ya?
Post by: norsepeak on March 24, 2011, 01:50:39 PM: Last archery season, we were covered up with bulls all season long. Chased this guy around one morning last archery season, got to within 22 yards of him, but let him go. Would you have taken him?

Post by: 75johndeere on March 24, 2011, 02:10:05 PM: the area looks just east of the mountains and while there is alot of great bulls over there they are not a every day sight i would have taken him better than eating a big bull tag

Post by: vandeman17 on March 24, 2011, 02:19:52 PM: As long as I was in an any bull area my arrow would have been flying!
Title: Re: Would ya?
Post by: Dan-o on March 24, 2011, 02:22:21 PM: Looks like about a 280 bull to me..... +/- ................... which equals dead trophy bull if I have anything to say about it.

Cool video.

Title: Re: Would ya?
Post by: bucklucky on March 24, 2011, 02:41:36 PM: Wouldnt have even knocked an arrow on that one for a permit bull. General season there would most definately be an arrow flying through his lungs unless I was hunting a bigger bull.

Post by: 6x6in6 on March 24, 2011, 02:47:45 PM: Tough call. I'd be on the fence which typically tells me no, don't do it.
He's a smart one too. When he stopped at the :32 mark he sure didn't hang long nor did he offer up much of a shot either.

Title: Re: Would ya?
Post by: norsepeak on March 24, 2011, 04:08:25 PM: no tricks, just a good bull that I was chasin for a while and didn't shoot, we had some bigger bulls located so we decided that this guy needed another year. And yes I was in a great bull unit with a big bull archery tag.

Post by: huntandjeep on March 24, 2011, 04:16:46 PM: Id shoot him in a minute. Beats going home with nothing

Title: Re: Would ya?
Post by: colockumelk on March 26, 2011, 07:17:16 AM: Slitting at my computer in March, I would say no Ill pass. But in the woods in September at 22yds? Equals a Slick Trick through his lungs.
Title: Re: Would ya?
Post by: zackmioli on March 26, 2011, 01:42:23 PM: definitely would have taken him, then again i havent shot an elk yet so making that my first would be a huge stroke of luck!

I would have done the same. Key note, being you had some bigger located. Had I stuck that bull though, I wouldn't be a bit disappointed.

Post by: dreamingbig on March 28, 2011, 04:07:58 PM: Not in the first few days but definitely if it was 22 yards on any of the last 3 days of the season! Nice footage.

Title: Re: Would ya?
Post by: wsucowboy on April 03, 2011, 09:17:57 PM: General season I wouldn't even have to think twice, permit hunt I probably would have passed unless it was the last day or two :twocents:
Title: Re: Would ya?
Post by: bowhuntersd on April 03, 2011, 09:38:30 PM: Oh Hell Ya. Oh Norse did I say "I F-ing hate you"! I hunted that unit all early season for any bull, let alone a 6x6. And I hunted my ass off. Great Video, I wish I was there. Hope you had a good season.
