I am posting these for nontypical250

"This doesn't happen very often. I got this bull with my muzzleloader during the general hunt in Utah. I know its hard to believe, but sometimes luck is on your side. Opening morning me and my buddy missed a raghorn bull right as it got light. We both got two shots at him. It was pathetic, so we figured we would never see another bull the whole hunt. I spotted a herd going across a big sagebrush flat. Unbelievably there was 10 bulls in the herd. So we stalked them for 5 hours. Finally we got within 200 yards. There was two six points in the herd and they started fighting and bugling and chasing cows.. It was incredible. I'm still kicing myself for not having my videocamera that was in the truck. We got busted by cows and spikes and smaller bulls trying to sneak down the hill just a little closer. As luck would have it this nice 6 point came out of the bottom of the draw following a cow, and stood there broadside at 120 yrds. So my buddy touched one off, and I was looking for the other six point, well my buddy missed. So I couldn't resist. I dropped him where he stood. I shot him with a .50 cal CVA loaded with 100 grains of powder and the 250 grain hornady slug drilled him.
Lets just say I don't expect another hunt like this ever with a general tag. Thats why I'm mounting him by myself, and putting him on the wall......."
