sneekfreak Report post Posted October 20, 2012 This bull slowly worked his way down to us on Chads last day to hunt. As we were preparing to shoot I relized both his left brow tines were busted at the beam. Upon seeing this and with the rut in full swing, we elected to pass on this bull and continue searching for a trophy bull for Chad to put his tag on.

Here is a pic of the bull. I will get the video posted eventually. Lots of footage to sift through... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Devil Diver Down Report post Posted October 22, 2012 I would have shot him on the first day, but that's just me. Still working my way up to the big boys, I guess. Congrats on getting it done later that day with a great bull! Was it fairly late in the hunt or did Chad just have to leave early? I was lucky enough to be into bulls every day of my hunt, but after about the 4th-5th day it was really rare to see a bachelor. Even the smaller bulls were in small herds with the cows and herd bulls. Once that happened, none of them came in to cow calls like they were coming in when they were by themselves, the first few days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All but one of his cows were on the other side of the rise he was on. The single cow was just to the left of the camera's view. There were other bulls nearby that were talking pretty good so we never had to make a sound. Just worked our way in real slow and quiet and waited for him to make a mistake. It all worked perfectly and we would have got a 40 yard shot off if he hadn't been broken... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
