I finally closed the deal on a bull I am thrilled about. I know there are better bulls on this unit, but I promised myself I would go directly after the first bull I saw that met my minimum standards. This beautiful animal is MORE than enough for me.
Thanks to everyone who contributed to this success. Even though I scouted and hunted alone, a lot of people deserve credit for making this happen.
Dr Sheehy and Gibbs, Loni Olsen, (Helped pack out, what a guy!) Roy, (aka BOHNTR), Travis (aka Deerbedead), Scott (aka Swbuckmaster), Eric (aka Chroma380), Daniel (aka Net388). All the local hunters who were more than happy to share what they knew. And, of course, my wife. She not only tolerates my obsession, she celebrates it! You da best baby!
I was able to get ahead of and ambush the bull with about 25 cows. Took a steep downhill shot leaning over a cliff at the outside edge of my effective range. 20 sec later, he was down.
This was without a doubt the most fun I have had hunting. Big bulls everywhere, and I did not see so much as another hunters track. I had these bad boys all to myself.
Now it's time to get serous about some Archery Muleys!
