matthewp45 Report post Posted December 11, 2009 First off I wanted to write this to thank Christian (azcouesandelk) for helping me out so much on my hunt. We were on bulls every day we just did not get the luck we needed to put it all together. We had an awesome time and the last two days were beautiful glassing in the snow. My buddy that had the other tag killed about a 325" bull. We were together and it was his birthday so I let him shoot first and thats all it took. Well, hopefully I will get another tag so I can get back and have another great hunt. Thanks again home chicken. I will post a pic of my buddies bull soon. Sorry I posted in the wrong section.

Coues 'n' Sheep Report post Posted December 11, 2009 Sure wish I'da had an able-bodied guy like you over there Matt... all our big bulls lived for next year (as far as I know).... We killed a 320 on opening morning with a 63 year old man... his largest bull to date and a less than 400 yd. down hill pack to boot! When does that ever happen?? My buddy's guy (76 yrs old) blew 3 great opportunities in two days at a 340-350 type bull... and it too was an easy bull.... but we had fun anyhow. Congrats to your buddy, a 325 bull is a great late bull! I can't wait to see the pics! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coues 'n' Sheep Report post Posted December 12, 2009 Was the antler only pic taken at your camp? There was a huge camp right there....

COOSEFAN Report post Posted December 16, 2009 Great late bull, congrats!! Is it just me or did that left G4 break AFTER it was killed??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matthewp45 Report post Posted December 17, 2009 Oh yeah you probably heard that story. The horses did great with the meat but went back to get the horns the next morning and got them down to the bottom of the mountain. Tommy went to give the horse a drink and the antler poked the horse in the side and the horse went ballistic. The horse was running off and the horns slipped off and impailed the horse in the belly. That made the horse go even crazier. He ended up loosing the entire cape and Tommy lost his 22 pistol. Just one of those things that happen and thank god no one was hurt. There are always fun circus events going on in all of our hunts. The horse ended up being OK too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
COOSEFAN Report post Posted December 17, 2009 No I hadn't heard, but that's a crazy story! Just makes the hunt that much more memorable in the end i guess! Antlers can be easily repaired and capes can be bought, more important is the horse was OK and nobody was hurt during the circus! Thanks, JIM> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
