I normally do not post kill pictures. But after multiple requests I decided I would post my Wasatch bull from this year.
I have been very fortunate to have the Wasatch tag twice in the last three years. And between my family we have had 5 tags in 6 years. We have killed three bulls with those 5 tags and have a 360+ average.
With my two tags I have hunted less than 1.5 hours for my two bulls. I took my bull this year at 6:51 A.M. On the opening morning. He was not the bull I was after but he fit the bill for what I wanted. The most important part of the hunt was I got to share it with 3 of the most important people in my life; My lovely wife who has put up with my obsessions, my shinning light, my one year old son, and my mentor and father which this animal is the first that we have both been together when I have pulled the trigger.
Without further ado here is possibly the first bull taken on the Wasatch this rifle season.
This pic is of my and my 1 year old.
This is of my father
And this is just a frontal.
I would have ended the hunt at. 6:33 A.M. Which was official shooting time, but he was bedded in tall grass tearing the grass apart and bugling. I had to wait for him to stand and turn broad side. It was a 280 yard shot.
