Alright last night i took my first bull and trust me if you get anybull i realized they're a trophy after the amount of work i put in.lol. I first spotted him from about 700 or so yards away with a few other rag horns, spikes and cows. But i was hoping that this other bull that i was after was in the group but he wasnt which i should of known. But since last night was my last night to hunt i decided i would take him. So when i started sneaking in i didnt realize he had about 20 deer around him to that had me pegged but i just kept sneaking along trying not to spook them once i got to within 200 yards i had to sneak in the wide open prairie with deer and elk all around me to get to this bull and that was the hardest thing i've ever had to try and do with nearly 30 sets of eyes watching me. I got within 100 yards and one of the cows spooked but i couldnt see this bull then cause he was over a little hump. The cow set of an alarm and it sounded like a herd of buffalo in there and i seen this bull come up behind them and stop at i estimated 110 yards so i sat down took a dead rest because i knew i wouldnt be able to get a shot at him again and aimed right at his vitals and nailed him. He ran about 20 yards and then began to wobble and he tipped over. It was awesome. Well i hope you enjoy guys.
