I'll set the scene .... it's the 3rd day of the hunt. You haven't seen much at all while hunting, but in July you did see a 6x8 370ish bull in the same canyon you're in now. You can afford only to hunt 6 days, then you've got to get back to work.
It's been light for 30 minutes when the bull in the top photo steps out at 250 yards.
While you're setting up to decide whether to take a crack or not, the bull in the lower photo walks into a small meadow in the bottom of the canyon at 525 yards or so. He's feeding and moving quickly through the meadow, but stops for a few seconds a couple of times, presenting quick shot opportunities. The bull at 250 isn't moving at all, just standing there looking around.
All of this is happening in a matter of 2 minutes. What do you do? Is either bull big enough? Which do you shoot at? Is bull #2 too far? Do you pass on both and hope to see bull #2 again? Or just take a shot at bull #1 and call it good? Or hold out for the 6x8 seen in July?
