Well in the words of Will Primos: "Dang it man!"
I was just wanting to show some big bull pictures from this year and not start a big mess. So I am sorry that you cared more about my head hiding done on the photos. Just let me explain a few things and maybe I will not be on anyones s--t list.
First of all, the outfitter will remain unknown.
Second, I was protecting the hunters by covering faces.
If they want to be identified I will leave it up to them. I was just showing the animals and that is it.
Now let me explain the bulls:
The 6X7 was in full rut and was shot in late morning with very warm temp. The animal was drug into some shade and dressed out right after it was shot. The guide then had to walk back to camp 2 miles to get a truck and some extra help to get the bull off the mountain. So two hours later in 70 degree sunlight the bull lay were I took the picture. Yes, he was quite stiff. The internals were behind him. The bull was loaded in the truck and taken back to camp to be hung. Once hung we skinned and caped him out. Then it was reloaded in a truck and taken to a meat locker where it was processed. Not one pound of meat was lost.
The 7X7 was also in full rut when it was shot about 4:30 PM. As you might have seen, the arrow is almost too far back. Now, any ethical bow hunter will wait at least 30 to 45 minutes after the arrow has drawn blood before going after the animal. In this case the shot was questionable and rather than losing an animal all together we waited about an hour and a half to find him. The bull ran over 175 yards before he began to bleed out and finally came to rest at the 300 yard mark. We took photos and then dressed him out before dark. We then skinned the bull and caped him on the spot to cool the meat. Not one pound of meat was lost.
The 6X6 was shot way back and took a few hours just to find him again. So after 3 other shots and hits the bull was on the ground and dressed out by noon. We loaded him in the truck and took him back to camp. By 3:00 we had him hung, skinned, caped, and cooling in the shade. Not one pound of meet was lost.
The only bull I was a part of from calling him in to getting him out was the 7X7. The other two bulls were ones I only went to help recover, skin, cape, and packout.
As far as the lack of respect of these animals, I am sorry that you were not there. Cause if you were there, you would have known that we held each of these great bulls with the highest respect and regard. As soon as the animal was down we went to work to make sure we gave the meat and trophy the care it deserved. Not every thing goes to plan but not one animal was wounded and lost and not one pound of meat ruined.
And here's what I have to say about the arrow half out and blood coming out of this chest. It's hunting! When you walk up to an animal after it has been hit with an arrow, there usually is alot of blood. So why cover up how it really happens and how it really is? So if this type of photo troubles you, why would you be so barbaric as to smile and pose with a dead animal in the first place. Because to an animal rights group it's all the same! Because the animal is dead and you are grinning right beside it with or without the extra blood. As a hunter myself, I don't feel that I have to explain my way of life to those PETA, Humane Society, and other animal rights folks. I am not going to say: sorry about all the gore, just let me clean up that mess and we can have a more politcally correct photo. If they can't handle the arrows, blood, and guts of it all then they can kiss off! Let them eat it up all they want and I hope that at least one of them vomit because of it. They don't scare or threaten me one bit! This ain't Hollywood, it's the Truth!
