Had me going for a second. Great picture as always.

Congratulations, that is awesome.

Congrats again Phil on an incredible bull. The videos of the fight were awesome to watch. It is amazing how powerful they are.

Congratulations on an awesome bull! You deserve it. The bad thing is that it is over now and you get to go back to work.

Congrats on a great hunt. This is the kind of write ups I like. I can't wait for an archery tag. Nothing like being up close and personal with bugling bulls for a week.

Dang that sucks. It is one thing when you hit a deer and it takes out your grill. But to hit an elk they clear the grill and come on in and join you in the front seat.

That looks great. By the way with a stud finder on deep cycle you can find the studs. I just moved and had to mount two bulls, a mule deer and coues deer on a wall with plywood over the studs. Got everyone of them the first time. I pre drill the holes so I don't split the studs due to the width of the bolts.

I have called in several coyotes up north. Unfortunately we were calling for turkeys. Last year I started packing my AR with me while the others shotguns.

Even if the bull was mortally wounded I feel the proper thing is to finish the job. If the original hunter had a mortally fatal shot than the bull should be his. But to say the second hunter should have sat there and not finished the bull is disrespectful to me. We as hunters owe it to the animals we hunt to shoot and kill them as fast as possible. That is where respect comes in. I have trophies mounted on the walls in my home. It isn't to show off my kills but to show respect for the animal and the hunt memories.

Congrats on a great bull.

I agree Flatlander. But we are not the typical hunters here on the site. Most average Joe's will be heading back home after a few days hunting.

Is the bipod still available.

I will remember that information for 25 years from now when I finally draw my antelope tag. I don't think it is quit the same as giving info for deer and elk.

I am in the east valley and will take it if still available. I will send an IM right now.

Definitely not something you see walking down the middle of a residential street everyday. Be curious to hear the story behind that.

Congrats on the buck. Been there done that. Except I did it with a Kaibab mule deer tag.

What tag do you have? I have seen a ton of deer through there but I think it mostly if not all mule deer. And like posted above there will be people camped everywhere. As for worrying about camp problems maybe I have been lucky. I have probably camped in 23 at least 50 times throughout the years and have never had a problem.

That thing is a monster. Congrats to your dad.

It doesn't hurt when you get to hunt a diary. I used to have access to one over here on the east side and we would go shoot eurasians all morning. It sounded like they were flying pretty good behind my house. They were popping off shots pretty good.

I literally just bought the same 12X12 Alaknak with the 2 cots a few days ago. Still waiting to get it. I am looking forward to using it this fall.

Sent message.

That is a great buck. Congrats

I use Pest Control Solutions to do all my termite inspections on my home inspections. Do you know that you have them and you just need to have them treated? They have really good prices. Especially compared to the big name companies that have to pay for their advertising. I can give you a contact number if you are interested.

That is awesome. Is that for active duty only?

If you are talking off the shelves of the shops I would say Tikka is up there. I also have a Savage that shoots really well.
