Ok Guys, I promised to post if I was successful. I killed this bull the third morning of the hunt after passing up 4 smaller bulls. He was rutting it up like crazy. I checked the wind got the shooting sticks ready and went in on him. 2 cows appeared 100 yards ahead on a quakie knob. Then just like in my dreams the head of a big bull was to follow. He came in facing us. I was naked eye and knew I'd shoot him. My bud Josh had him in the Leicas and said "Great bull Brad". When he turned broadside I had just mid body back through 2 different openings. Josh grabbed me and threw me to the right 3 feet and there was enough to shoot at. I wasted no time put it on him and squeezed. He lunged forward went down outta site made a huge commotion as he was getting up and going back down. We knew we had hit him hard but had to reload. What a mess I was reloading! He made it down the hill and came to a rest in a small meadow creek where I double lunged him there. At that 40 yard view he had grown and put on another 20 or 30 inches of antler! All I could say for 20 minutes was "Oh Josh!" When we got our hands on him I realized I got the bull I was praying for outta this tag. No broken tines, massive, and beautiful. Score did not matter, he is a pig! For you interested in score though, he scores right at 340. Thanks to everyone who p.m. me. I ended up killing him in an area that I was familiar with from Josh's 2007 hunt. As long as you keep getting outta bed and puttin wear on the boots GREAT things can happen. I'm very pleased with him!
