Well after spending all day getting my life back to normal, I am ready to tell the story of my good luck, bad luck bull. My hunt started out by getting on the mountain Thursday afternoon. Most of the day Friday was spent trying to get my sinus passages to stop hurting. Going from 500ft to 8000ft in one day plays heck with us flatlanders. Opening morning saw now action at all. No animals were seen but that didn't discourage me because most of my sightings come at my secluded spring in the evenings anyway. On my way to the spring in the evening I could hear mountain bikes off in the distance but I thought that they were a long ways away so no problem. The closer I got to the spring the closer the bikes were getting, my bad luck the bikes kept going by for the next hour. About this time I was so depressed and sure that I wasn't going to see anything that I thought that nothing else could go wrong. Not 10 minutes later a pine squirrel dropped a pine cone from about a mile up the largest pine in the area and it just happened to land on my head. At this point I thought that even the forest animals had it out for me this year.About 7 the forest started to settle down and I figured that it was time to give a few cow call. Not ten minutes later 6 cows and 2 calves came running towards me, followed by this bull herding them around a meadow about 75 to 100 yards from me. The cows started running directly away from me I knew the bull was about to follow them so I gave a low cow call. The bull looked at the cows and then looked my way and started running right towards me. He stopped at 26 yards and started to drink out of the spring. At this point all I can see is his head and horns all of his vitals are covered by pine limbs. I draw my bow when he lifts his head and hold and hold and hold until I have to let down my draw. This goes on for two more times, when he lifts his head and stops drinking for the fourth time I draw my bow again, this time he takes two quick steps and crosses the stream and I stop him with a cow call at 27 yards quartering away. One minute the arrow is on the string the next my Mathews Switchback XT shoots out the acc arrow tipped with a Rage 3 blade right into the lungs. He goes about fifty yards and piles up. Of course he falls on my arrow and breaks it but some bad luck just makes you smile.

Great job and great story. :thumb I love the pine cone in the head part, that's great!!! Congratulations, now I just need to figure out these darn elk...

Great job! 6x6 Bull.... :thumb =D>

Congrats on a fine looking archery bull.
