After 13 years of putting in for the San Juan... it finally paid off for my Dad. He shot this bull with his muzzle loader Monday morning. There are some great bulls on the unit, but they are much harder to come by than the stories being told. Hard to believe that there isn't a 400 incher behing every tree;) Anyway, the old man was patient and passed up a number of great bulls that I tried to convince him to shoot. Obviously he was the wiser and killed the largest bull that we saw the entire trip.

That's a great bull Looks like you was down in the low country, How many good bulls did you see and pass up to get the That big bad boy, Goes to show ya Dad still knows best LOL.
 
Hey Gator,

Thanks for the heads up on places to check out last month. My dad ended up passing on a ton of 300 to 340 bulls, several each day for the first five days. I've got video of a busted up 6x7 that ran a thousand yards up a canyon and stopped one yard in front of my dad, laid his head back, bugled and blew snot all over us. There were a few that came in close enough to touch. My dad passed on a couple of 360+ bulls as well. The one he shot scored just over 380 and was probably 10 to 15 inches bigger than any other bull that we saw.

By the way... have you heard how bggmhtr and the other guys that were chatting about the MZ hunt down there did?
 
whipknot,
Tell dad congrats again! beautiful big bull!! thanks for posting the pics, I like the last pic the best.
 
What a great bull! Man you guys did awesome , congrats to both you and your dad . That is one massive bull, love it.
What , there really isn't a 400 bull around every tree , heck we knew that , its every other tree , geezzz.lol
Again congrats on a great trophy...
 
That is going to be a heck of a nice mount on the wall, I'm thrilled your dad got one of the big ones, We did see a legit 400 down there a few weeks ago he was killed a couple of days later. But I wouldn't turn down this bull for him, it would come down to which one I saw first, I Heard that they got a couple of nice ones too around that 370 mark, They are going to send pictures one day soon I hope?
 
Is SJ the unit nickname, are you talking about the San Juan here in Utah. What unit did this come off of. What a Toad. Great looking bull, congrats.
 
Great trophy and I'm sure good memerioes that you'll keep for the rest of your life. It always nice to see a father and son hunting together.

WOW!!!! Very nice bull....Wish I would have drawn that hunt this year, but instead I got another point....Maybe in a couple I will get lucky to hunt that one..
 
Does SJ stand for San Juan for here in Utah, if not what unit did this bull get taken off of. And what state.

Great looking bull.
 
That is a great bull, event though it didn't break that 400 mark, plus it sounds like it was a great hunt with your dad, memories to cherish a life time. I espically like that last picture.

Congrats to both of you!!!

That is a neat bull, tell your old man congrats. Anyone that would pass with a smokestick on a bull like that needs to have their head examined.

Thanks for the kind words guys. It was a great experience. Now... with my 4 bonus points for elk I will likely have a chance of drawing that tag in about the year 2052... can't wait!
 
whipnot!!!

HAS YOUR DAD CAME DOWN OFF CLOUD TEN YET???

THE ONLY bobcat THINKING SOMEDAY SOON,YA RIGHT!!!
 
Im pretty sure i have several minutes of film on that bull im gunna have to go back and look at all my film from this year. Tell your dad congrats on a awsome bull. Its to bad that the unit going down hill. ill never be able to harvest a big old smoker like that one. congrats.

Hey Trent,

If you can dig up the footage on that bull... I'd love to see it. Please email me and let me know.

Thanks!
 
swing by the house anyday rob. ill show it to you. Or if your refering to the unit going down hill open your eyes.

Trent Holliday
 
I agree with you trent about the unit going down hill. I bet within 5 years the average size bull will be 330-350. Selling more tags for the unit is not the answer. Its just a money maker for them. Just got to give to crap Trent.
