BIG BULL DOWN!!! 2013 spring hunt!

Recommended Posts

TLO Was Blessed to be able to accompany Stan during his Spring Buffalo hunt on Arizona's North Kaibab. On his second day of hunting we tracked down this Big bull with another one. After 3 miles of zig zagging through big canyons we jumped them in a thicket at 30 yards!!!!! I got them stopped at about 120 yards out and Stan's first shot was a perfect double lung! But the bull kept getting up and needed several more shots to keep him down! It was really exciting and nerve racking! Stan's bull was a huge old B&C bull!! And after 6 big rounds from the 338 the big old bull prooved he was the man of the woods!!! With two broken leggs he showed his sheer strangth by getting back up twice and muscling his way toward the park line!!! I tried to stay calm... but talk about heart pounding excitement that will make me grow old fast!!!! My hats off to this impressive 2000 lb mass of muscle and determination!!! A final shot to the back of the head put him down for good 23 yards from the park line!!!!!!

Stan and I got to work on the bull while My brother Blair hiked back to get a quad. By the time Blair got back I had it all cut up and ready to go.

We were thankful that It was a beautiful day with beautiful weather unlike the day before. Another beautiful bull and loads of priceless memories!

 

Thank you Stan for choosing TLO to make those memories with you! Congrats again on your monster bull!

We measured this bull and figured he would stand at least 5' 9" at the shoulder.
