Fishlake bull down

bullelk97 · Sep 7, 2007

I just got back to town with my bull from the Fishlake. I got him Tuesday morning at 9:30 after following him and him harem into a canyon where they bedded down. He wasn't really responsive to cow calls so my brother-in-law Kent bugled at him and he screamed back at us. We worked down the ridge above where we thought he was at and bugled again. He screamed from about a hundred yards straight below us. We snuck down on him to 30 yards where we could see a pine tree being brutally destroyed by this guy. I snuck 13 more yards and waited for him to present me a broadside 17 yard shot. I hit him behind the front shoulder but a little high. We waited for an hour before we followed him up. One hundred yards later he was done. Then it took us a day and half to get him completely out. Sorry I am not with the times yet to have pictures but when I get my film developed I will post. We roughly taped him at 330. What a awesome hunt it was. Good luck to all who have tags and congratulations to all who have scored on animals this year. There's nothing better than hunting big bulls.

Good job! Despite what some have said on this site, you do not have to kill a 380+ bull to have a GREAT hunt!

Would love to see the pics!!!! Now I am getting excited
