Big Bull Down.....
« on: September 17, 2018, 10:25:46 AM »
It's every hunters hope to draw a bull tag and for my son, age 12 his hopes and dreams came early after putting in for a couple years.  After a few hunting trips he finally got within a comfortable shooing range of 200 yards to put a one shot placement on this bull dropping it within his tracks.  It was a great spot and stalk hunt that proved his patience as there were opportunities to shoot at a farther distance but he owed it to the animal to make a shot he knows he can make with his .270  Freezer is filled up and now it's onto some deer hunting.

Awesome!! Looks like a happy kid and a happy dad.
He's going to have to work to top that bull!
Thanks for sharing.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Great looking bull.
Congrats to you both.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.
