Thought I would share some photos and a quick story of the bull I shot on the General Muzzeloader hunt on the South Slope Uintas.

On the third day of the 2010 general muzzeloader elk hunt my hunting buddy and I located this bull in a small basin on the south slope of the Uintas. We watched him in some thick timber and by the way he was milling around, figured he was going to bed down. I went after him in his bed while my buddy kept an eye on him to see what he would do. I stalked around the backside of the ridge he was on and got to within 20 yards for a shot. I was very excited to get a bull of this caliber in a general any-bull unit. It was a great hunt. It is always fun to make a plan, stock and get close for the shot.

We put a tape to him and has 50" main beams, 45" inside spread and a gross score of 325".

Very nice bull!! Most people don't even kill bulls like that on limited tags. I'd say you have done extremely well!
P.S. If you need an extra hunting partner next year give me a call:D

Congrats on a great bull. Even a better bull being from a general season area. Way to go. Thanks for sharing.
 
That's a very good bull, He will look great on the wall.

Congrats on a monster bull!!!

Great pics on what looks like a hunt of a lifetime on the south slope. Not often you hear of one that big out there much less get to actually hunt him!

Cheers,

Teenagers! I borrowed my daughters camera to take photos. Who knows what the setting will end up being.
 
Thanks Matt. It was a fun hunt and great weather. You'll have to come see it when it is mounted.

Congrats on your bull. Very nice. It looks very familiar.
 
LAST EDITED ON Jan-03-11 AT 08:37PM (MST)[p]Thanks everyone for the nice comments. I wish I could have got better pictures but both me and my buddy forgot our cameras. We packed the meat out the first day. The pictures were taken when we came back the next day to get the head and cape. Wish I had some full body photos. I still have several good photos and I'll have a very nice shoulder mount to remember the hunt.
 
I was RAZZIN Ya Ron!:D
