Title: I got my bull!
Post by: jman985 on Oct 12, 2011, 02:38:13 PM
I got my bull Monday afternoon.  811 pounds 47 inch spread.  It was warm out there.  Sunday it was 82 and Monday was 65.  I hope it cools down for the other guys up there.  Seems like everyone had a cow permit.  Not many people seeing anything.  They are out there just not moving much.

Awesome!! Very nice trophy bull!!

Nope it was snapped off before.  He has 4 or 5 points that are chipped off to.  He also had some wounds on his side where he had been ripped open.  The best is on one of the paddles where you can see 3 puncuture holes from fighting.  I'm thinking he might be pretty old.  His teeth are wore smooth and he had 8 teeth in the front on the bottom that I could almost pull out they were so loose.

I got him on Monday evening at 6:00.  He was with a cow.  I used a 30-06 and it was a 110 yard shot.  One shot to the spine dropped him in his tracks.  Had to give him another one to finish him off when I got down to where he was.  The cow didn't want to leave.  She let us get to within 50 yards before she finally walked away.

     darn near the same story as mine. spine shot as well. twice the cow charged within 50-75ft. of me and the bull w/ hair on her back up ears flattened! i put a second shot into her boyfriend before she finally ran off! thought i was gonna have to shoot 2 that day. would have been hard to explain to a warden tho. scared the crap outta me!

Yup That is Laflames in the picture.  They do all my deer also.  They do very good work.  A little pricey but worth it.  Plus I live a couple miles from them so that makes it handy.
