LAST EDITED ON Sep-09-11 AT 00:08AM (MST)[p]This is a bull I shot last saturday night in Wyoming.
On friday-sat morning I passed on a few smaller bulls (280-300")but no chances on enything I was interested in. Saturday evening was one of those magical elk moments that many of us have experieced. I had bulls screaming everywhere. I noticed that many elk were funnelling through a meadow and past some wallows so my boy and I hustled down there and set up on the edge of the meadow. Over the next 45 minutes we past 8 bulls at 15-20 yards. My boy videoed as they bugled and raked the ground. The wind was perfect and not one elk ever knew we were there. Just at dark I saw a big bull coming down the pipe right towards us. When he got to 30 yards I took the shot. We heard the thaWackkk but with the darkness coming on it was tough to see where I hit. The bull went about 50 yards and layed down. Soon my friend came down to meet us not knowing we had shot this bull. His approach caused the bull to get up and walk off which really made me nervous. We decided to give him over night and returned in the morning. After a quick track job we found that I had double lunged the bull but took out the high part of the lungs which allowed him to live for a few minutes before expiring. He is my best bull to date scoring 351" with 50.5" main beams and unbelievable mass and palmation on the top end. I also took a muley buck and an antelope on this hunt. Talk about a fun week for an 8 year old. I can't tell you how many times my boy said "This is Awesome!"

Nothing beats a father and son experience like that. Moments like that will assure your son will be a future Hunter. Nice work!
 
Good story and a great bull. Ditto on the father/son thing. Wait till he takes his first elk, one of my all time favorite events.
 
Thats awsome, and to get to share it with your son makes it all the more sweet.
 
Nice Bull for sure!

Congrats on a beautiful bull but more importantly congrats that you did it with your boy at your side. That is awesome.
 
I posted the other pictures/ stories from this hunt and other hunts this year in a post in the general hunting forum. I think it is titled 2011 archery hunting success pics or something like that
