west central desert bull

[NMHunter1]

My wife and I went out for the first time in my unit Monday evening. Got this bull to fire up around 650pm. With my wife and I tag team calling we got him to leave his cows. Once we knew he was on the way my wife dropped back 70 yds behind me and a little to the east so he would split us taking the wind in his favor. He headed right for me running at half speed. Seemed to get faster at every note my wife made. I let him pass me at 28 yds to give me a quarter away shot, but when i called to stop him he squared up for perfect broadside shot. My RAGE BROADHEAD entered behind the shoulder and exited the other side for a perfect double lung pass through shot. He went 40 yds and piled up right in front of us.. The moment my wife and I had together I cannot explain.. But it was awesome!!!!!! The bull a 7x6 scored 360 gross P&Y points. In the open country of the west central desert I would not of got this bull to come so close I owe it all to my Awesome cow calling wife!!
