LE Wasatch bull

elkhorn79 · Sep 15, 2011

It was tough hunt. Spending many hour in the treestands over water. I had so many cows and calf coming in but no bulls untall the morning of 4th when i got my shot. I thought i made a good shot on him but after 9 days looking . Me and my hunting buddy found him a mile a way it was sad i didnt get the meat. But we tryed all week to find him and we did. We never gave up!

a pic of the bull the morning i shot him.

Nice job. I applaud you sire for sticking with it and putting you tag on that fine animal. Many would not have put in that much effort to recover a wounded animal. Nice job. Very nice. And great looking bull to boot.

Just curious but were did you hit him? And what were you shooting?

To me, the persistance you showed in recovering that animal makes it more impressive that any 400" bull I've ever seen. Congratulations on the hunt and a great find.

It's always an adventure!!!

Way to stick with it until you found the bull. You are definitely in the minority for hanging in there that long.

Nice looking bull and cool pic of the mud bath.

Good job! It's great to hear you recovered your bull. Many can learn from your example. You found the bull you shot. Good lookin bull!

I would also like to say way to stick with it! Buddy of mine hit a nice 26 inch 4 point buck this year up by tonys grove on the north cache and he lost blood after about 2 hours and gave up. Me and a couple others kept looking while he went in search of a "new" buck. Pissed me off and I wont help him out again. Kind of feel like its my fault because i took the stupid guy up there. Never did find the buck. Anyway, thanks for showing the animal a little respect and searching til you found him. Takes a lot of patience and persistance.

I applaud your guys persistence. 9 Days is a super long time, compared to the few stories on here of guys givin up after a few hours. Thats a great trophy bull. Sucks about the meat, but nature will take its course and do other things with it than just feed us.

Your persistence paid off Elkhorn79. Nice bull.

Way to stick with it and not give up. It's too bad about the meat but you did all you could to recover the bull. Great looking bull.

Very commendable of you to stick with it and find your bull! Congrats

goforbroke · Sep 16, 2011

Congrats, that is going above and beyond and a great bull with memories is a fine reward.

mulecreek · Sep 16, 2011

Fantastic bull and good on you for keeping after him. I have several friends and family elk hunting with me this year. If any of us shoot a bull and don't wont a shoulder mount I would be happy to give you the cape if you would like it. I will let you know. Good job.

nfh · Sep 16, 2011

glad you found him. way to stick it through.

wasatchheavyfive · Sep 16, 2011

Nice job way to stick it out and do the right thing. I wish all of us had Patience and Persistence.

JACO · Sep 16, 2011

Way to stick with it!! I had a similar situation in 2009 with my bull, and found it on the 4th day. I think I hit in the same spot as you, just a hair behind the lungs.

I'm curious, how'd he smell when you found him???

haha

ChubbyTuna · Sep 16, 2011

Great bull and way to stick with it. Now that is dedication to that bull and makes it all the more memorable for you. that is what it is all about. I am hoping my buddy up there can pull one out as well. Congrats!

elkhorn79 · Sep 16, 2011

Thank for all the posts. he will make a nice mount to hang on the wall and remember the hunt

TheKnack · Sep 16, 2011

Great job hanging in there and not giving up.
Most yahoo's would not of cared and hunted another animal. I respect your tenacity and integrity.
I know you may still feel down on yourself but it could happen to anyone....But unlike most you chose the right path and were rewarded with something at the end of the trail.
Best,
Jerry
