My Only Bull Colorado 2007

[sambo3006]

I've rifle hunted Colorado unit 62 for bulls twice and cows several times. In 2007 I took my first and only bull with a 320 yard shot from my 338 Ultramag. Even with a shattered shoulder he got back up so I put in another insurance round which put him down. We didn't feel like trying to track a wounded bull through the thick oak brush. This photo was taken where he fell. He isn't a big bull but to this day I grin when I look up at his antlers on the wall.

Congrats. A first bull is one you always remember and for a non limited unit he is a dandy. Well worth smiling about.

Congrats on a fine first bull.
My first was a spike.... over 43 years ago.

awesome! They are tough

first animals are always right at the top for "trophys" to me. My first bull a 4x4 is on the wall right next to my biggest bull.
I can't say mine was 43 years ago though. I was still about 8 years from still being a thought to anyone ;-)

Let me guess, you drive a 1 ton with oak trees for smoke stacks, 12" lift kit and 40" tires to pull a single place lawn mower trailer?

GREAT JOB AND GREAT FIRST BULL. ESPECIALLY IN A HEAVILY PRESSURED UNIT. SOMETHING SPECIAL ABOUTTHE FIRST ONE THAT LIGHTS THE FIRE
