this is the bull that was in millers one stop. My daughter in laws mother worked there. As to where he was taken, that is the one thing I might lie about. The only reason he,s on the wall next to the stove is it was either that or out in the front yard. my wife said!

" 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

 Way cool oldguy, I spoke to her while moose hunting and thought it looked like the same bull. She told me where it was taken but I doubt anyone will believe the Desert unit ;) :rolleyes:

I have never heard m yself that Cabelas would,nt display it. I know some of the people who work there personaly, have even taken people from there hunting with us. Never had anyone say a bad word to us, or about us.

If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

Very Cool...

Neat Bull... I can only hope my year is as successful.
