LAST EDITED ON Sep-09-10 AT 09:43AM (MST)[p]Ryan is not much of an internet guy so I doubt he'll post. Anyway, as Blackfoot said, after scouting all summer long he located this bull and several other nice bulls and kept them pegged down for over a month in some non-traditional elk country. He told me that he would smoke a monster on opening day...guess he was right! I'll try to get him to come on here and give us the blow by blow but apparently Tristan (his son who also harvested a nice ibex this past youth hunt) had to talk the old man down in order for him to cool down enough to make the shot. After the shot the bull apparently went down in full sight of him and the rest is in the books...
For those of you who don't know him Ryan has arrowed numerous bulls over the 340 mark throughout New Mexico, at one time had the largest bow killed muley in NM, and is a big coues killing machine. He is also pretty much the reason why I've been killing some good bulls over the past three years.
