Well,I just finished off the best year of my life.I shot an antelope with my bow,a deer with my rifle and this bull with my muzzy.I shot this bull on the 2nd day of the hunt.We had just pursued a bull right before that turned out to be a 5 point.My brother filmed him coming in at 10 yards.As he ran off barking at us several times to my brothers calls,we could hear this bull screaming up the canyon.After locating the bull at about 400 to 500 yards away,we decided to take the steep hill to our left because the canyon we were heading up was too think and noisy at the bottom.We had to climb over shell rock to get on the high side,but it worked perfectly because when we crested the ridge,the bull was 200 yards away fighting with another 6 point.I waited for the right shot and let squeeze.My bullet sailed right over his back.You could see the dust fly.Then,all hell broke loose trying to get another round in.It is actually kind of funny now.Several elk were running after that first shot but my bull stood still the hole time.After reloading,I took aim again,but this time the bullet hit it's mark and after a few anxious seconds,the bull side stepped a few times and went down.This is my first bull and although I still had 12 days to hunt,I am extremely happy with my bull.My dad who had to stay at the truck with a bad hip,was leaving the next morning and my best buddy from Salt Lake had to leave the day after that,so everyone that came down on my hunt got to witness it.It was just me,my brother,my friend,and my dad.My thanks go out to all of them.They were the ones that made this a hunt I will never forget.Now I know why people say that it doesn't matter if you get the biggest trophy on the mountain,as long as you have friends and family there to experience the thrill of nature and experience your trophy hunt with you.I couldn't have done it without them.
